About two-thirds of Canadians surveyed this month said American democracy cannot survive another four years of Donald Trump in the White House, and about half said the United States is on the way to becoming an authoritarian state, a poll released on Monday said.
The November U.S. election is likely to pit President Joe Biden against Trump, who is the clear frontrunner to win the Republican nomination as voting in the presidential primary race kicks off in Iowa on Monday.
Sixty-four percent of respondents in the Angus Reid Institute poll of 1,510 Canadians said they agreed with the statement: “U.S. democracy cannot survive another four years of Donald Trump.” Twenty-eight percent disagreed.
The Jan. 6, 2021 attack on Capitol Hill by Trump supporters seeking to block certification of Biden’s 2020 election win shocked many Canadians, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly blamed Trump for inciting the mob.
Trudeau talking about democracy?
Lol
Poor yanks, having to choose between trump and biden
It’s a pretty obvious choice though. I’d really rather that the giant economy we’re involuntarily tied to at the hip doesn’t elect an authoritarian criminal.
That’s like saying you’d rather have a senile criminal over a criminal troll
It’s not an obvious choice
It’s equally shit both ways
We need electoral reform. Conservatives and neo Liberals are a minority. Anything but first past the post would be better.
We were promised that a while back. Too bad Trudeau capitulated to the backroom-old-boys’-club and scuttled it with exactly zero repercussions. :/
