The random telephone survey of 1,000 adult Canadians was conducted for CanWest News Service and Global News from Aug. 29-31. Such a sample is considered accurate to within 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
1000 Canadians also represent the beliefs of 30 million?

It's a poll... nothing more. A measuring stick used to gauge opinions and perspectives. You can believe what you want but you can't argue with this... It is what it is.

I don't believe that Bush or his administration or any other before him planned a major conspiracy such as causing the attack on 9/11.

It is clear to me though, that over years and years of unwanted US imperialism gripping the world destructively, it brings to mind the fact that they should have realized the effective force that US had on outside countries. American intervention, international bullying and lack of global awareness (outside US borders) for many US citizens breed disaster. -- Regardless of any specific knowledge prior of the attack.

Was it one American president or administration that triggered such an attack? No, it was the effect that the U.S had towards many countries whether it was political or not. Unfortunately, this was overlooked, and neither person nor group can be blamed for such a tragedy. What can though, in my belief, is the seclusion of a society as a whole.

Regards,
Stellar.

So do the words of our beloved "leaders."

At the end of the day, these polls are used time and time again for many purposes. When polls are done days or even weeks before elections, they in almost every case will predict the outcome (ie. the last Conservative win here in Canada).

You can question the opinions or perspectives all you want... everyone is entitled to their own. Unfortunately, you can't argue with the results of a poll such as this.

The truth of the matter is why should we care what the NDP, and thier followers think. We know who our Canadian friends are and they happen to be in power cause the majority of people voted conservative.


You are clearly delusional if you think that 35% of those who bothered to vote represent any form of majority. Maybe we forgot to tell you of, or more likely you have chosen to ignore, the fact that the Conservatives lead a very fragile MINORITY government. More fragile, even, than the minority government it replaced.

And remember to this same line of thinking then it was the Afghani people whose fault it was that the Taliban was in power then we should have carpet bombed the whole country. And taken out one third of thier population. Cuase it was thier forgien policy that dictated that.

Thank-you for illustrating that your rancid imagination draws inspiration from the same cesspool as Michael Coren.

The Afghani's foreign policy did not threaten us, nor was it used as justification for attacking us. It was OUR foreign policy that created an enemy where there previously was none. If one day we are threatened or attacked by Afghanis, it will be a reaction to OUR foreign policies.

Are you not glad we dont think like you!

I have yet to see the proof that you can think at all. Your post is mindless drivel repeated at the behest of the puppet-masters who make YOU dance their merry little jig.

What rancid bullshit. Polls are usually very poor predictors of anything, they usually mean little more than specifically what they say, can very easily be manipulated, and are usually worthless.

I would say that 'opinion' polls are good (but not great) INDICATORS of the sentiments of those who are polled, but lousy (or at least inconsistent) PREDICTORS of how the majority will act.

If a plebiscite were announced on the continuance of our occupation of Afghanistan, an 'opinion' poll might find that the majority of respondents were against it. Yet, when the vote is held, many of the 'nays' might not even bother to cast a vote and the victory could be had by the 'yeahs' because they, more strongly, believed in acting on their beliefs.

I would agree that the questioning in polls can be formulated in such a way as to push out a desired result.

As far as the results being worthless? Depends on the quality of the poll. Many have been/and are used as predicters or barometers every day. Hence, their frequent use in politics as well as countless other things.

You can't dismiss the results of a poll though... just because you don't like the outcome.
