Looks good so far.
Update: Latest results as of 8:30 Eastern Time.
VanishedDate: For some reason there is now a blank spot on the web site where the poll used to be.

I could not agree more!
If nothing else, it will teach him to get somebody who knows how to code the poll to keep people like us from voting more than once! (a pretty hilarious result, can’t wait until his techie catches it and shuts it down)
Hey, it just told me I already voted on the poll! Has it been doing that all along, or did it just get fixed to prevent dual-votes? If it’s prevents multiple votes, then he’s really in for trouble!
Just reading on his site how we should be ‘carbon neutral’. If I understand it correctly, probably the best solution would be to cut down all the trees, use to wood to build things (thus locking in their carbon for a long time), and then replanting the trees to suck up huge new amounts of CO2. Any reason why this wouldn’t do what Suzuki/Gore are telling us to do?
Shane: As one who has benefited from SDA links pointing to my blog, I can tell you that nobody needs to vote more than once. The traffic that flows through this site is second to none. I’ve been linked to by all kinds of so-called big sites … and nobody pushes traffic like SDA. I don’t think people appreciate how many truly unique hits SDA gets … its not all spiders and google.
So what do ya say Suzuki ??
In your own poll, on your own website;
The largest group of voters, more than 45%, say we should NOT even try to meet the Hoax. Martians won’t either, according to National Geographic.
Only a third of Canadians think we can meet Kyoto by tightening our belts.
Canadians care about the environment. They don’t care about Maurice Strong’s cult.
Suzuki has the absolute top web guys working on his site. There is no way anyone could vote more than once.
These results are real!!!
Harry: Don’t bother. Let things take care of themselves. One vote … one person … the power of the net and us crazy neo-con rightwhingnuts.
Harry: You’ll appreciate the results more if you vote once. What’s the fun in giving Mr. Fruit-Fly a reason to say he was cheated.
” .. The traffic that flows through this site is second to none. I’ve been linked to by all kinds of so-called big sites … and nobody pushes traffic like SDA. I don’t think people appreciate how many truly unique hits SDA gets ”
All the voters do !! Warren Kinsella does.
sda, #1 Canadian blog. How many years now ??
jimbola: Why bother … if Paul is right, nobody needs to vote more than once. Let the regular SDA visitors vote as they please; and only once. Nobody told them how to vote anyway.
I haven’t had so much fun since Kerry opened up his blog for endorsements…
Mods you can clean this one too.
Yeah, I voted, er, lots, too. Top web guys, eh? Just like the top scientists Suzuki uses for references, I suppose. TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS!!!!
“OK the cats out of the bag AGAIN.
Mods can you clean up the leaks!!!

That’s ok folks I’ve taken a screenshot and sent it to the Suzuki Foundation.
Click all ya want folks. Message or not it will only accept one.
Hey folks: Albatros is right. There is no need to vote more than once. Like I said, there’s lots of traffic on this site, and everyone will vote as they choose. If the system can be cheated it can be cheated by all who go there; if it can’t, then you’re just fooling yourself anyway.
Is there a way to view the poll results without trying to click on a choice a second time? I’ve been revoting just to see new results, because I can’t see a way to get to the results any other way.
Right click, hit refresh.
Not that I know of… maybe albatross knows.
All that does is refresh the window … it’s not a vote.
“sda, #1 Canadian blog. How many years now ??”
So that’s how a bunch of rednecks gets the #1 spot, manipulating the voting, just like you’ve done with the Suzuki Foundation’s poll. Just think of all the times you’ve pointed your crooked con fingers at Liberals.
As an interesting aside – I notice how he doesn’t have anything actually costed out in any way. Ie. to meet our commitments we will have to curtail 40% of all road travel, etc, etc (I’m making that number up). In my mind, those voting for option 1 are pie in the sky types, hoping against hope that we can do Kyoto, without any plan as to how we can do it. If the road to Kyoto is so doable, why has no one come up with a clear plan and presented it to the Canadian public? If Kyoto enjoys so much public support, and it’s so workable, this should be a political slam-dunk, right?

Yea, you can just delete the cookie that says you’ve voted. I’ve got the screenshots of you rednecks gloating over it before it was deleted.
Albatros: Actually albatros, it’s called high traffic. I know, because I benefit from it. It’s called one of the most visited political blogs in Canada … likely the most visited single person blog. People like what Kate does … if you don’t, why are you here?
And, you are making a fool of yourself with your lack of knowledge. Refresh is just that, it refreshes the page you are on, it is not a new vote.
I’m starting to feel sorry for poor old Suzuki. He’s gonna have to spend the rest of the weekend re-rigging his own poll himself. Good job, people.
Warren Kinsella is soooo funny !!
Just up(musings) he claims on-line polls are not accurate because some groups are left out !!!??
Like, hey Warren, would the Media-polls, by any chance, “select” the ones they want answers from ?? Duh, think ??
Have you EVER seen a list of those polled ?? Let alone the answer data.
Thanks, Paul – I get the refresh thing now. But shouldn’t there be some way just to view the poll from the main Suzuki page without having to first enter by voting?
Albatros – I’m not sure that an on-line poll holds the same moral significance as some of the sins of the Liberal Party of Canada. Does it give you comfort to think we’re all rednecks?
Delete the cookie?? Whut in tarnation are yeh gettin on to albatross.
Is thet wun of them tech things. My lil’ redneck brain is frazzled enough jest tryin teh hunt down the right keys on this here laptop thingy what I got at WalMart.
I have to say, all the same, that I’m quite skeptical as to the number of votes on that poll. I suspect at least one of us has figured a way to re-vote, and to do it relatively quickly. I’m not saying I mind (it’s an on-line poll, after all) – but I find it tough to believe votes are going in that quickly. I click refresh and it increases by 3-5 in just a few seconds.
Shane: Not the way they’ve got it set up. You can check the info by voting again, and it’ll just tell you that you’ve already voted and show you the latest stats. If you stay on the page and want to see the changes, do as I suggested.
Like Paul says… SDA pushes the traffic. Its the number one site. I think we also got picked up by LGF.
Shane O. it shows the character of the typical right-wing redneck.
What Liberal “sins” are you referring to? Was it the Income Trust scandal? Oh right, that never happened did it. Sorry is the hardest thing to say, especially for Harper.
Update:
No….5090…63.39%
I wonder if he will still send this poll to Ottawa?
64% NO at the moment.
Like I said in another post, the Canadian Public Has Spoken.
The verdict is loud and clear.
Just checked, and 64.84% of people say “No, so we shouldn’t bother trying.”
I guess, this poll will be coming down soon and forgotten.
Albatros, I’m more concerned about the general social engineering that Liberals have done in Canada for umpteen years. Although I’m generally in favour of the CPC (for now), don’t confuse me with a die-hard supporter (I didn’t vote for Harper last election, and I’m in his riding). If the CPC drifts too far and becomes too corrupt, you can expect another Kim Campbell experience – can you honestly say that the Liberals have ever been held to account the same way that the Tories were following Mulroney? That, to me, shows the key difference between left and right voters – we’re not afraid to move our vote if things get too bad – the left will keep feeding their political masters, thus never forcing them to clean up their acts.
Shane: Same thing happened in Sask. Conservatives punished their own party and put them into the wilderness for years because of the Devine government. What albatros doesn’t realize, is that unlike the liberals, the ones to fear if you are a conservative politician is your own base.
Albatros, why don’t you mention Adscam? or promises to scrap the GST? Or the gutting of the military? Or ‘tearing up NAFTA’? It’s telling that you don’t recognize the failures of your side of the political aisle. Does my side make mistakes? Of course. We’re emerging from a wilderness experience right now precisely because right voters expected better and refused to condone what a previous right-leaning government did. When has the left ever seriously punished its political masters?
Shane O, I’m not afraid to move my vote around either if there was another party to vote for, but I will never, repeat never, vote for that Regressive Conservative party. The fact that the Liberals as you say “have ever been held to account the same way that the Tories were following Mulroney” screams that Canadians, as a majority will never trust Harpercrit.
Went there and voted, but felt dirty even visiting the SOB’s site
Albatros: I have just the party for you …
http://www.communist-party.ca/
Albatros,
That’s the difference between you and I. I won’t give my vote to a party that doesn’t at least minimally deserve it. Period. You could just as easily argue that Canadians, as a majority, will never trust the Liberals (what was the highest % vote they received in their 13-year rule? – wasn’t it 40%?).
I’m not sure you’ll believe me, but I used to be Liberal (as in, attend the policy convention), but got out just before Chretien got in – because I could see the writing on the wall, even back then – the Liberal errors in governing Canada stem from how they run their party.
Gord: I know just the fix … start your SUV and let it run for an hour or two.
Or the gutting of the military?
Gutting the military? Sorry, that was not the Liberals who did that, that was the Mulroney cons that gutted the military. No party sold off military equipment faster than Mulroney. The Liberals inherited the massive deficit from the cons and prevented Canada from going bankrupt.
Read Redbook one, the Liberals said they would replace the GST not get rid of it. It seems most provinces weren’t interested in getting rid of the GST other than a few eastern provinces. They are the ones that have the HST today.
Like all liberals, you are an unhappy self loathing person Albatros. Constant sniping at productive real people that contribute to society everyday without stealing, like liberals like to do seems to be your m.o. If you want to waste your money, if you have any, on phoney carbon credits, then do it, follow Suzuki and Gore and believe everything they say. I, like millions of others see no change in the climate, gets freezin ass cold in the winter here and warms up in the summer, done the same for a long time. Your new religion has no staying power, nature makes fools out of liberals and their predictions all the time, just watch the weather every time they convene a grand meeting on global warming.
I think whoever was running up the totals has stopped, the votes are changing in a more natural manner now.
Oops, spoke too soon, I think.
Albatross; I hear that WalMart will be selling carbon credits. If you stock up now, you can get a deal.
Guys, let’s get back on topic: this is about clobbering the dim and self righteous: email your friends and every blogger you know that an even more self important than usual lefty has left himself WIDE OPEN on his own web site. Lock and load.
