41% of Americans would support a wall on the Canadian border: poll

More than four in 10Americans would supportbuildingawall across the Canadian border.

That's according to aBloomberg pollreleased on Thursday thatshows 41 percent of Americans would favour a "brick and mortar" wall along the Canadian border.

The Canada question was follow-up toa query on aMexican border wall:"If a wall is good for the Mexicoborder, it is good for the Canadaborder as well?"

The poll surveyed 1,001 American adults over 18 years old, and, according to Bloomberg,is accurate within 3.1 percentage points.

Bizarre as it may be, the idea of a wall along the Canadian border has some prominent supporters.

Last month, WisconsinGov. Scott Walker raised the ideaon NBC's Meet the Press,when he was still a contender for theRepublican presidential nomination.

"Some people have asked us about that in New Hampshire," he said."They raised some very legitimate concerns, including some law-enforcement folks that brought that up to me at one of our town-hall meetings about a week and a half ago. So that is a legitimate issue for us to look at."

Walker later saidhe didn't want to build the wall afterall. Last week, amid sagging poll numbers,he dropped out of the race.

Much of the fiercestpro-wall rhetoric has come from bombastic U.S. billionaire and presidentialhopefulDonald Trump, who has made a border wall with Mexico one of his major campaign promises.

Trump has said he "loves Canada" and wouldn't put a wall on the northern borderif elected president.

Actor Matt Damonjoked thathe supports a wallto help keep the "white walkers" out.

It should be notedthat the Bloomberg poll found a majority of Americans are still against building a wall along either the Mexican or Canadian borders,but the results still haveCanadians talking.

Most seem surprisedbytheir American neighbours.

Plenty seem tothink it's ridiculous.

Others thinkit might actually be a good idea.

And some were leftasking this question...

It does makeyou wonder though,doesn't it?
