Nearly half of young Canadian men would take U.S. citizenship from Trump if offered

Young men and educated Canadians would be the most likely to accept U.S. citizenship if offered by President Donald Trump, a new poll finds.
Forty-five per cent of men aged 18 to 34 would take on American citizenship if the opportunity arose. Meanwhile, 46% said they would reject the offer with 9% uncertain, the poll revealed.
The survey was commissioned by True North and conducted by One Persuasion. It reveals a notable demographic divide in Canadians’ willingness to accept U.S. citizenship if given a hypothetical offer by Trump – an idea he has toyed with in recent remarks about annexing Canada.
Canadians’ openness to U.S. citizenship varied wildly depending on age, gender, education, and political affiliation.
The willingness decreased sharply with age among men, with only 32% of those aged 35 to 55 and 15% of those 55 and older saying yes.
Women were generally less likely to express interest in U.S. citizenship across all age groups. Only 25% of women aged 18 to 34 said yes, and this figure dropped to 18% for women aged 35 to 55 and 7% for those 55 and older.
Education level emerged as a strong factor influencing a willingness to accept such an offer. While only 13% of respondents with a high school education or less said they would take U.S. citizenship, the number rose steadily with higher education levels. Nineteen per cent of respondents with a trade or community college education said they would accept an offer. Of those with a bachelor’s degree, 25% said yes, climbing to 35% for respondents with a postgraduate degree.
