So I am in agreement with the Albertans on this. <BR/>Woman at Mile 0Woman at Mile 0https://www.blogger.com/profile/02007966021603937917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-14202478560247298752007-07-03T16:08:00.000-04:002007-07-03T16:08:00.000-04:00Yikes.

Yes, OK, Albertans are less sure of the unity of the country than even Quebecers on average. That can be taken at it's face value.<BR/><BR/>Saying "Some" people "might" "feel", or Albertans "appear to feel" so and so about Quebec? That's bullshit. They didn't ask any questions about what Albertans feel, and even if they had, the answers would have been totally unreliable.<BR/><BR/>Here's a suggestion: have the polling firm get the respondents to list the grievances that Quebec has with the federal government. Dollars to donuts a lack of optimism correlates to a lack of knowing what the f**k you're talking about.<BR/><BR/>This kind of reporting is poisoning the brains of the country. Narrative is nice, but it's not how things actually work.Gauntlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05061438876627317881noreply@blogger.com
