10% of Canadians support Trump's annexation threats

A small group of Canadians, about 10 percent, supports U.S. President Donald Trump's threats of annexation. This support is linked to cognitive biases that distort their understanding of risks and security, leading them to reinterpret annexation as a positive proposal. Most Canadians, however, reject Trump's threats, with 85 percent opposing annexation. Prime Minister Mark Carney has emphasized that Canada will not become a U.S. state, and provincial leaders are united in defending against potential tariffs and economic attacks. Psychological biases, such as confirmation bias and normalcy bias, affect how Canadians perceive these threats. While many recognize the seriousness of the situation, some may underestimate the implications of Trump's actions, delaying necessary protective measures.
