, compared with 82 per cent for Germany, 77 per cent for France and 65 per cent for Mexico. Less than half of Canadians said they have a positive or somewhat positive opinion of Canada’s relationship with the United States; only 23 per cent said this for China.
Forty-four per cent of respondents said they have a negative or somewhat negative opinion of Canada’s relationship with the United States, while 12 per cent said it was neutral and 1 per cent said they were unsure. Ontario had the most positive opinion of the Canada-U.S. relationship, with 48 per cent saying so, while respondents in British Columbia had the least favourable impression, at about 40 per cent saying it was positive.
Canada-China relations have deteriorated since the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver last December. She was arrested at the request of the United States, for extradition on allegations of fraud relating to American sanctions against Iran. The survey was conducted in partnership with the Atlantik-Bruecke, a Berlin-based non-profit group that promotes co-operation between Germany, the United States and Canada. PG Forest, a member of the Atlantik-Bruecke Canada Advisory Board and director of the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy, said Canadians are perplexed by the Trump administration and see more commonalities with Europe than the United States.
