As close neighbours and friends, Canadians are deeply invested in today’s US election. Our recent national poll shows how much this matters to us:
70% of Canadians are closely following this historic election, and it’s easy to understand why. What happens in the US deeply affects our shared economy, environment, and security.
The poll numbers paint a clear picture: 64% of Canadians would support Harris if we could vote, with strong backing across all regions. We see Harris as the stronger candidate on issues that matter to our relationship – from trade to climate change to our shared border security.
But there’s also concern here in Canada. 65% of us worry about potential election-related unrest. As your closest neighbour and ally, we’ve always valued our peaceful, productive relationship – regardless of who sits in the White House.
To our American friends heading to the polls today: Know that your northern neighbours are watching with genuine care and hope for a peaceful democratic process. Our friendship and partnership have weathered many elections, and will continue long after today’s votes are counted.
Here’s to democracy and the enduring Canada-US relationship! 🇨🇦🤝🇺🇸
