Just 37 per cent of Canadians surveyed looked at the U.S. with admiration, according to new research from Environics Institute, which has been tracking Canadian public opinion since 1976.

This year marks an unprecedented low, a word pollsters rarely use, wrote Environics Institute president Michael Adams in a blog post. Its Canadians lowest overall opinion of the U.S. on record, down from peak admiration at 83 per cent in 1983.

These are lows weve never seen before, wrote Adams, before noting that if polling went back to the War of 1812, the proportions admiring the U.S. and its leaders might have been lower.

Environics interviewed 2,000 Canadians between Oct. 1 and Oct. 14. Their survey shows that while more than a third of Canadians view the U.S. favourably, that drops to just 13 per cent when it comes to how they see Trump.

Indeed, Adams wrote that President Donald Trump and his bullyish style and America-first policies factor into the results. Its not the first time since Trump was elected in November 2016 that polls have indicated global opinion of the U.S. is less than favourable.

A Pew Research Center study last month found that the global image of the U.S. had also reached a historic low, with a majority of people expressing little confidence in Trump.

While the results of the Environics survey are unsurprising, Victor Konrad, an adjunct professor at Carleton University who teaches about border relationships, says that Canadians shouldnt just shrug off the results.

Were inextricably tied to the United States, says Konrad, who is a dual citizen.

In addition to Trump, Adams wrote that other factors responsible for Canadians low opinion of America include the nightmarish mixing of guns and bigotry. Think of shootings in Charleston, Orlando, and Pittsburgh, the list goes on.

Now take a look at the Canadian players on cup winning teams.

As for the pic, well, yeah. We think America is by and large just stupid. We enjoy watching the circus.

Imagine seriously thinking Trump is harming the US. His actual policies are no different than any other Republican president's would be.

inb4 any Republican president would seriously harm this country. That's bias for you.

I was unaware every other potential Republican President would have also gotten into a pissing match with multiple countries and enacted tariffs that are harming the American people and workers.

So far Trudeau has:

-Bungled the Canada post strike
-Talked about how glorious a literal dictator was
-Assaulted someone in the house of commons
-Groped a reporter despite claiming to be a feminist and expects to be absolved because he "doesn't remember"
-Made a fool of himself on numerous international visits
-Violated federal ethics laws by visiting Aga Khan's island
- Blown taxpayers money on redoing the PM residence and vacations, moreso than any other PM in history.
- Increased Canada's national debt

So, I don't think it's a stretch to compare him to Trump.

Over how long of a stretch of time though? Cause Trump pulls off a lot of those at least once a week.

-This was questionable, but a lot of 1st world Euro countries did the same so eh.
-lololol Ruth Ellen is a joke. Imagine actually bringing up the farce that was elbow gate.
-Are you mad he took pics with topless chicks at Gay Pride Vancouver too?
-Which ones? Mostly it's been him emasculating Cheeto boy, and not backing down against goon leaders.
-Dunno what that is so I'll take your word for it.
-lol not even the worst PM we've had for crazy spending.

Trudeau making a clown of himself in India is far more of an internal country-level problem that doesn't even deserve to be discussed on the same level as something like Trump going to France for the 100th anniversary of the end of WWII and throwing a bitch fit and sulking in his hotel.

So are Trump's tariffs unlike what other Republican presidents would do or not?

Protectionism is a liberal economic policy, regardless of party.

Again, I'm not arguing that Trump isn't an oaf. But that doesn't negate Trudeau's oafishness.

EDIT: For the record, I voted for Trudeau. But he's been quite a let-down.

The ironic thing is, the so-called "america-first" policies aren't really putting america first. It's screwing everybody over, including america.

The only winner are the Trump hotels that Trump gives millions of dollars of taxpayer money to.
