Canadians are more likely to draw contrasts between the two countries, particularly when it comes to friendliness, culture, arrogance, and international reputation. Americans, meanwhile, are more likely to see little difference or to be unsure, suggesting that Canada may occupy a less sharply defined place in the American public imagination.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":140,\"335559740\":259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_heading title=&#8221;Canada Leads on Reputation, but Opportunity Is More Competitive &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_level=&#8221;h2&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;45px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When it comes to global reputation, Canada clearly comes out ahead. More than eight in ten Canadians believe Canada has a better, more positive reputation among other countries than the United States. Americans are more divided, but they are still more likely to choose Canada than the U.S. on this measure.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":140,\"335559740\":259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Opportunity tells a more competitive story. Canadians are more likely to choose Canada as the country that offers better opportunities for someone willing to work hard, while Americans are more likely to choose the United States. In other words, Canada may have the reputation advantage, but the U.S. still holds a strong pull when it comes to the idea of upward mobility and economic ambition.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":140,\"335559740\":259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_heading title=&#8221;Neighbours First, Close Friends Second &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_level=&#8221;h2&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;45px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Despite these differences, both Canadians and Americans most often describe the relationship as one between neighbours.

Only 8% of Canadians describe the two countries this way, compared with 20% of Americans. Canadians are also more likely to see the relationship as one between rivals.
