And any Trump like candidate in Canada.

Not only did 70 per cent of respondents indicate they are unsatisfied with Trump’s win, they are also losing faith in our neighbours to the south. Less than a third (30 per cent) of poll respondents agreed they “trust the judgement of the American electorate.”

However, political candidates should take Trump’s win with a grain of salt. Less than a quarter (23 per cent) of poll respondents said a Trump-style candidate would have a shot at becoming Canada’s prime minister.

Trump’s election could do a number on the U.S. hospitality industry: Half of poll respondents said they will avoid travelling to the country “for at least the first few years of the Trump presidency.”

Predictions for Trump having a positive impact was not wide-spread: More than half of poll respondents feel his influence will be a negative one on things like climate change and trade, as well as both the United States and the world.

It's just a shame (not) for Canadians or anyone else that they can't do anything about it.

All this whingeing over Trump is the same sort of whingeing by the same sort of people over Brexit.

Brexit and Trump are two massively great things to happen to the world (and Leicester City breaking the big boys' grip - at least temporarily - on the Premier League).

I'm not surprised you hang around people that are non factual.

There is zero evidence that Britain will benefit from this in any way.

Not only do we share a border with this lunatic asdylum to the south of us, we trade with them at an unprecedented level. You are confusing "whinging" with genuine fear of the effects of this loose cannon

I don't like it - most sane people don't trust Trump so don't like it either - but...

America elected him. They elected the R's for Senate and the R's for Congress.

He was all about making America Great again and making things better.

As I read on a political essay: now they have to actually govern. Let's see what they do to make all the things Obama did "Better".

Heading to Phoenix in two months (assuming it's still standing). Should be a good time as usual. Of course, I'm not a visible minority.

I'm sure you realize that the only change in the U.S. was that not enough Democrats showed up to vote.

It's on Breitbart if you need to confirm it. :)

Canada, as the rest of the world is surprised. He was subdued in the White House yesterday, but he's been given his phone back and is tweeting again!! Wonder if the CIA, economist and military will embrace him.

He's going to be out after the first term unless he can somehow get other voters on board.

I am sure you realise that the only difference is the same people who supported the hope and change message from 8 years ago , voted for hope and change this time around .

Canadians bitch about everything. It's a national pastime. Apparently, like all Trump haters they don't LISTEN unless it's idle gossip and evil rumors, then they perk up their ears;. 'That's something to bitch about'.
Strikes me as funny that they are so afraid of Trump when it's our own PM that's driving Canada into the gutter!


Canadians are acting more and more like North Korea; they want the world to pay attention to them. Truth is, most of the world doesn't give a hoot about what Canada does or thinks and probably couldn't even find it on a map!

Remember, when you piss and moan about Trump, it's bad, but when you piss and moan about Trudeaubama, it's good.
