Check out the poll at canoe.ca re: the US losing its moral high ground in Iraq. I have revisited to and seen the number of votes increase from around 4000 to 5000 and now over 6000 and the percentages have not changed (24%, 12%, 17%, 47%). The source code appears to me to be fixed, but my html knowledge is lacking for me say for sure.

Here's the link to the poll:

Disgusting if this is indeed the case.

Huskies rock even in Iraq!!
We need more people like BT to bring the best from our talented youth not more gov. programs.
You never hear scandals about our Husky football players who are a fine group of students and are great roke models for our young people.

Happygilmore: Probably not. It's actually quite easy to create server-side dynamic content that looks exactly like fixed HTML, even if the extension is .html. Given that the number of votes increased when I clicked vote, and this is also in a seemingly fixed field, I would venture a guess that this is indeed the case.

Well... I can't say I like BC or Montreal. In fact, they are my most hated of all teams. I can't stand either, but I would rather the cup stay out of montreal. I'm cheering BC on, but i've died a little inside :(

Trophies that are rewarded to the athletes and not the pwners (as in the US ) have a tendencey to have a more celebrated history.

Ever wonder why someone with "6.1 million readers a month" can only generate 1000 votes in an online poll? ... lol

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
