This article in the Toronto Free Press (a discordant, conservative Canadian publication) claims that over 40% of Canadian teens think the US is “evil”. The author roundly criticizes this:

The poll results reflect that anti-Americanism will be solidly entrenched in future generations of Canadians. As well as listening to the propaganda espoused by their political leaders and the media, these kids have no experience with what constitutes real evil. They live in a country that much like pre-9/11 America, thinks that terrorist attacks are something that happens in other countries. And as the World War II veterans slowly die off, they have no conviction of the evil that the allies risked their lives to defeat.

Never to be outdone, 64% of French Canadians agree with the “evil” characterization.
