Percentage of Canadians who see the U.S. as a top threat triples: poll

WASHINGTON – As U.S. President Donald Trump pursues his global trade war and talk of annexation, a new poll suggests the percentage of Canadians who view the United States as a top threat has tripled since 2019. The survey by the Pew Research Center also suggests that 55 per cent of Canadians say the U.S. remains this country's most important ally. The centre polled people in 25 countries and the nation most commonly cited as a critical ally was the United States. But the U.S. was also named as the top threat in eight of those countries. Many people in Europe cited Russia as the top threat, and those in the Asia-Pacific region commonly pointed to China. Pew surveyed 28,333 adults outside the United States from Jan. 8 to April 26 by phone, online and in person. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 8, 2025.

Mark Carney is on holidays. The government won't say where

Article content However, politicians weren't always so cagey. The Canadian Press reported than when Brian Mulroney was prime minister, he routinely informed reporters where he was vacationing. Former prime minister Jean Chrétien broke from the practice, causing what the media described as a 'furor' in 1993 when his office refused to follow protocol and disclose his week-long holiday at Florida's PGA National Golf Resort and Spa. Article content Article content Yet, holidays have long caused controversy: Free vacations at the hands of the wealthy Irving family caused a major problem in 2003 for Chrétien, who said politicians had every right to accept freebie holidays. Article content 'You know, we have the right to accept hospitality. I do accept hospitality once in a while. I visit my son-in-law, who has a lake, and I fish with him and I'm there with my grandson. Perhaps I should confess that,' Chrétien said at the time. (His son-in-law is billionaire Andre Desmarais.) Article content Article content It's not just Liberals, either. Article content Prime minister Stephen Harper's Labour Day visit to New York in 2011 — he saw a New York Yankees game and a Broadway show with his family — cost taxpayers some $45,000 and Peter MacKay, then the defence minister, had a military helicopter pick him and his buddies up during a fishing trip in July 2010.
