  • Other similar polls in the timeframe put “would want to” at about 9% as well. Some are even phrased as “would vote to”.

    What surprised me was the 18-34 demo who are apparently about 17% for it.

    That being said, the quality of a lot of these polls aren’t great. Many aren’t random samples and come with a big disclaimer.

    But, still, none have been as high as 20%. That’s crazy high as a national average. Really curious breakdown by state. The most support for joining to USA is AB and it’s still around just 13%. This suggests the most “I want to leave” state wants to join Canada much more than the most “I want to leave province” wants to join the USA.



  • I’m having a hard time finding the link to the poll itself…

    But I suspect that the poll had distinct categories for “strongly oppose” and “oppose”.

    So either the article is lumping the two responses together (which would be shitty because they explicitly say “strongly”) or it’s likely that the number of Canadians who are open to it is <20.

    From previous polling I’ve seen, it was around 13% who were open to it. Not even saying they would, but merely open to the idea.
