Canadians Rank USA Greater Threat Than China, Russia And Iran Combined

A majority of Canadians now view the U.S. as their country’s top security threat — ranking it above China, Russia and Iran — according to a shocking new survey.

The poll, conducted for Bloomberg by Nanos Research Group, found 55% of Canadians believe the U.S. currently poses the greatest risk to Canada’s national security. Only 15% selected China, while 14% named Russia and 2% chose Iran.

The survey followed a series of confrontations between Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Donald Trump, including tariff disputes, clashes over NATO and the president’s push to control Greenland. Ottawa has simultaneously sought to deepen economic and diplomatic ties with China’s communist regime.

The results also revealed a gender divide, with roughly 64% of women naming the U.S. as Canada’s primary threat, compared to 45% of men. The survey of 1,009 adults was conducted Jan. 31 through Feb. 4 and has a margin of error of about 3.1 percentage points.

A separate survey released Thursday by Politico found that a majority of Canadians no longer view the U.S. as a reliable ally. The poll also found that 67% say the U.S. challenges rather than supports its allies around the world, and 69% agree the U.S. tends to create problems for other countries rather than solve them.
