@dolmansaxlil - is it as bad from the Canadian perspective as this poll indicates it is?
The other thing to keep in mind is that many Canadians never LOVED the US. It has always been a grudging respect because they were the bully next door so we have always been resigned to just being under the shadow. But Canadians biggest point of pride is NOT being American. It’s pretty much our national identity. So I think public opinion is just as terrible as your article shows, but also, I don’t think the US was as loved by Canadians as many Americans think it was prior to this.
When were visiting my grandmother in London (mid 1970’s), we were in a museum and I heard the man next to me speak, I asked him if he was from the US, and he exclaimed, “Oh, God no! I’m Canadian!” Since my father and all my relatives had British accents, he must not have listened that carefully to mine. 
He did apologize, but it was pretty apparent that he did not want to be mistaken for his southern neighbors. I’m sure it is so much worse now.
I cannot forgive the current occupant of the WH for what he has encouraged/allowed/done to this country. Or those who are enabling him.
