The poll is the latest sign of tattered relations in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war and attacks on Canada's sovereignty, and aligns with recent Ipsos polling.

58 per cent of Canadians surveyed said they no longer view the U.S. as a reliable ally

Over two-thirds of Canadians said the U.S. tends to create problems for other countries rather than solve them

    Stop hiding behind the US. It’s a pathetic shield for a country that’s currently a global laughingstock. Whether the US has problems doesn’t change the fact that Russia is a hollowed-out gas station with a museum-grade military. The ‘World’s Second Army’ is currently begging North Korea for ammo and losing its Black Sea Fleet to a nation without a navy. That’s the reality of Russia: an incompetent, corrupt mess that provides zero value to the world.

      “Hiding behind the US”. Jeez your talking points are straight from the Whitehouse too.

      “Russia is a hollowed out gas station, but you should totally be more afraid of them than the US” - do you see how your arguments are all over the place? I guess you’re likely still using that AI to build your responses, because your posts seem to have amnesia regarding any past point you’ve tried to make.

        As a Russian, I recognize the pattern. It is much easier to point out contradictions in others than to address the fact that our “superpower” status has devolved into being a global nuisance with an incompetent military.

        You’re right—it is a strange position to be in: a gas station that can’t win its own war, yet insists on being a global player. We use the “What about America” script specifically so we don’t have to face how hollowed-out our war machine has actually become. It’s the essence of vranyo—we both know the “Great Power” image is a fiction, but we keep talking about the US to avoid the embarrassment of our own reality. I see you’ve adopted that tradition perfectly.
