Im pretty sure that Ekos and the like don't utilize volunteers.<br /><br />Nice try though.Gene Rayburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12438068218145410142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-66590912988029498072009-10-09T10:28:58.156-04:002009-10-09T10:28:58.156-04:00I'd just like to point out... if you have unpr...I'd just like to point out... if you have unprofessional people doing these things, and they're not even asking whether you work for a media organization first, it could be volunteers.

It actually started off with "are you in support of the Strandheard-Armstrong Bridge that Pierre Poilievre secured funding for." I promptly told the person I wasn't so sure he had "secured" the funding and said I did not wish to participate in this poll.Proudpinkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11420563740640041564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-53728290768464179382009-10-09T09:16:07.981-04:002009-10-09T09:16:07.981-04:00Ive been averaging about 3 calls from polling comp...Ive been averaging about 3 calls from polling companies a day. I've had them hang up when Ive answered questions with "this sounds like a push poll" yet they keep calling.<br /><br />I went through my records. In the past two weeks I have averaged a call a day from Ekos, Ipsos and Harris polling plus the emails from Angus Reid, Harris and many others. It's pretty ridiculous when Ekos called me three times last Friday; the latest being 10pm pst.<br /><br />I guess that's where our tax dollars are going these days.Jon Pertweehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15885012077740645175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-8532465575903791092009-10-09T08:36:15.621-04:002009-10-09T08:36:15.621-04:00not yet, and given some of the emails I've sen...not yet, and given some of the emails I've sent to Poilievre, I doubt I will. hahaAndrew P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12263953858845872868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-73992824360306440812009-10-09T08:21:57.782-04:002009-10-09T08:21:57.782-04:00...and he hits the bullseye.

Wonder what they are saying? hmmmmAureliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691032415028867902noreply@blogger.com
