The poll does not have a margin of error because online polls aren’t considered truly random samples.

“In terms of those who support the ban and those who have specific concerns regarding TikTok, it’s mostly among older Canadians who don’t use TikTok,” said Christian Bourque, executive vice-president of Leger.

It's almost as if the headline is clickbait or something. Bullshit article about a bullshit survey that can't even be called a survey.

Let me rephrase that:

This is a manufactured issue to keep people from organizing and stopping the permanent destruction of the environment that sustains life on this planet. I doubt the people that manufactured it know that though, they only know that they're still making money from unabated and unsustainable resource extraction.

To be clear, our environment is collapsing right now, no one knows how long it will take to completely collapse though. This summer has been the hottest summer on record, almost exponentially so, and it's not going to stop until we stop it. There are already bodies of water that are becoming to hot to sustain life. If the oceans, lakes and rivers die, we die along with them because the plants and animals (phytoplankton) in all the water make the vast majority of the oxygen you're breathing right now. We have to stop fucking around and get the fuck to work and stop this or everyone dies. Maybe not in our lifetime, but as it stands now, it is definitely going to happen. Again, this is just another distraction to keep people from doing that so others can keep making money off of it.

*I of course think Premier MooMoo is way out of line on this, but it is in essence a made up issue to distract, to keep eyes away from his, or his governments ostensible industry friends. A person chooses their pronouns as a way of expressing who they are, respecting that decision is common sense; however, it's easy to make that an issue with today's hyper connected aged toddler.

It's okay because she isn't native.

They certainly can, though the proper term is bias. In that respect, something I find particularly egregious is ARI's use of loaded terminology in it's articles describing the 'issues' it's ostensibly doing surveys on ("Culture wars", "Canadians not convinced", etc.). These are the first thing users see when they navigate to the website which almost certainly influences their opinions before they even start the survey. Even if the survey is emailed to them, some of them will likely navigate to their site anyway to brush up on facts.

Another potential issue (though this is present in all psychology/sociology research; majority of psych papers are done on university students), is that their sample population is only people that have taken the time to register in their forum. Even though they're ostensibly paid for it, there aren't many people that will do that, or even think of it and given how some of their articles are titled I can get a fairly clear picture of the kind of person that would want to make an account on that website.

Lastly, I'm not a psych major, but when a paper's methodology section basically amounts to "We surveyed random users on our website at this date" and nothing else of substance, I tend to not take it seriously.

Not surprised a newspaper picked it up though. A really good clicky headline, and they didn't even have to think it up.

Labelled mid-right because of the terminology they use.

Oh, I get it. You're just trolling, but poorly. Have some imagination at least...

Canada has the highest population of Sikhs outside their home state of Punjab in India ...

I wonder what the reason for that is? Hmmm...

I had the opposite experience. No stress from traffic and work, no want to drink.

Lawyers for the two men say they never meant to interfere with a case before the courts.

They hired a private investigator to follow the judge by accident.

🤔

I hope no one was hurt, but honestly that sounds like a good time.
