Nearly half of Canadians hold an unfavorable view of American people compared to the overwhelming majority of U.S. citizens who view their neighbours to the north in a positive light.

According to a new survey conducted by the Angus Reid Institute, 48 per cent of Canadians “say they view Americans unfavourably,” compared to the “overwhelmingly positive (79 per cent favourable) coming the other way.”
