“Most Canadians still want aggressive government action to fight climate change, in spite of skyrocketing fuel costs” – Canadian Press Harris-Decima poll suggests!
Respondents were given two options: Did they support a more cautious policy approach “so that we don’t drive up the cost of fuel and the cost of living even further?” Or would they subscribe to the view that “the rising price of fossil fuels is a reason we must move even more aggressively to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. . . .”
I think this could use a bit of tweaking…

A little while ago I had the displeasure of seeing Alan Gregg the founder of Decima research on TV.
His role apparently was to bad mouth the Conservative government and that’s exactly what he was doing…. every last topic he commented on involved badmouthing PM Harper and NONE of what he said was factual.
It is always wise to check out the question before believing the results,esp.when Harris-Decima is involved. Their poll last week on the green shift was framed something like” Dion’s green plan will end poverty and save the planet. Do you support it?”.Who wouldn’t?
I was surprised to see the headline and article, but it all makes sense once one gets to see the questions asked.
And of course the media simply parrot the global warming party line, and here’s yet another example. Here http://news.aol.com/story/_a/mountains-glaciers-grow-defying-trend/20080710092609990001 the glacier is GROWING, but don’t worry, they assure us it’ll be shrinking before we know it.
I’m not the brightest of people around but I’m almost to the point of putting on my acting shoes and running for the LPC. Maybe that’s what needs to happen. Put a bunch of us in there to completely hijack the party, steal millions, create totally absurd legislation…
…holy shite. I’ve been beaten to the punch!
Pollsters, MSM and the LPC are all joined at the hip… all in bed with each other in a perverse amalgum.
When the SSM debate was still in the news, pollsters completely ignored Harper’s compromise position of “civil union” recognition. It didn’t matter that it came from the Leader of the Official Opposition at the time. No, they dismissed his proposal as coming from a silly, insignificant man, as if he was the leader of the Rhinos, to be instantly dismissed.
You see, the truth is this… if Harper’s position was added to the polling questions at the time then support for full SSM recognition would’ve dramtically dropped, probably into the 10-20% range with Harper’s position getting about 70% … the remainder opposed to any change to the status quo.
Imagine the headlines the MSM would have to put out as a result: “MAJORITY OF CANADIANS SUPPORT HARPER COMPROMISE WHILE LESS THAN 20% SUPPORT THE LIBERALS’ POSITION”
Just the thought of having to convey that message to the public gave MSM and pollsters the willies! And so best not include Harper’s position if order to inflate the numbers supporting the LPC position.
Ahh …I got nothin agin the Poles. Nice race.
Sad to see the amount of money that is being wasted on this fraud, global warming. it is 48 degrees here in southern Alberta tonite, July. Think about it you lefties, you are robbing the hungry for a fraud, does that not bother you sanctimonious bastards. this is a lie and you know it, you are perpetuating it for money, does that not make you sick. People can’t feed their kids, can;t fill their cars with fuel, can’t afford a house and you environmental whores like Suzuki and Gore continue this monumental theft! You purveyors of this BIG LIE are the lowest form of life.
Bartinsky @ 1:24 a.m. Don’t waste your breathe. If the leftards had any moral compass, they would have learned their lesson with the whole DDT fiasco. They haven’t. They are perfectly willing to sacrifice millions of African lives at the altar of radical environmentalism.
I’m a physician – and was asked to participate in a phone poll. The first question – two options:
I believe that:
1. Health care in Canada is fine
2. Health care in Canada is in crisis
I just said I didn’t want to participate after that.

Bartinsky,
The system has dealt with their kind before; they just don’t see it coming. This GORE Cult has no empathy for the consequences on those PLL, which are most vulnerable. We have to watch out for our parents & grandparents.
I have an old friend from Boston that went through a nightmare RE: Jimmy & Tammy Bakker. His elderly parents required his constant supervision, every two weeks, because his mother would send all their money to Jim & Tammy. They would have no medication & be eating pet food… He could not convince his mother that Humanity starts with ONE.
The damage done, to the quality of life, by Gore & Company will be measured in hate.
When are we Conservatives going to demand a full public inquiry seeing how Chretien and Martin knew about Omar Khadr being tortured, yet did nothing to stop it?

Steve-the baby terrorist is where he belongs, leave him there. The question should be, why haven’t we sent the rest of the family so they can be together…somewhere else.
Don Uthole, you need to do some research. Here’s a good place to start:

The phrase “war on climate change” is such an example. What about a war on gravity or a war on the rotation of the earth.
As long as it’s a WAR, Quebecers will run the other way…
This poll gave me a bumpersticker idea. I was going to get one that said “every time I start this truck, a polar bear drowns” but instead I think “this vehicle powered by Soylent Green” might work too.
