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."

No doubt those folks in the first 5 minutes of video feel good about themselves though.
Would you like to see my breasts?
Dice’s video record of the decline in American intelligence is priceless. Nowhere else will you see the result of Progressive/secular/politically corrected public education (indoctrinating) and media/pop culture lobotomizing. Right on Mark – you keep the minority of us who are not zombies laughing in dark times.
He should be asking them their level of education.
Obama voters?.. Who knows? Would we do any better? I, as an old fart, knew the 2 answers, however they taught history back in the middle ages when I went to school. Now they teach how to love the resident H-mo, and diversity etc.
this video is tooooo painful to watch. are yankes now soo stupid?
“this video is tooooo painful to watch. are yankes now soo stupid?
If we were to do the same type of on-street interview in Toronto or Vancouver about Canadian constitutional history we would get blanker answers.
I’m the product of a 1-room school house…..allegedly deprived of a quality eductaion as a result.
I have a lotta fun with folk who think Charlemagne was the inventor of champagne….that William Lyon McKenzie was an explorer….
My favourite was when a clever gal, interrupted a conversation with….”what’s a Mussullini?”…….
Ya jus can’t that stuff up.
Yeah, that’s why I know with certainty that the next president will be Hillary and next PM Trudoe. I gave up on this civilization long time ago specifically for these videos. Switching to plundering mode to reciprocate the treatment received.
Ouch
Off the grid, from these idiots.
dwright
I have to disagree, since the majority of Canadians of the same age group would be equally ignorant of our history, especially the meaning of Dominion Day. Sorry I am supposed to say Canada Day, another Liberal creation to appease Quebec even though it had no effect. As for having a basic knowledge it is the same and for the same reasons you mention.
Low information voters/citizens have always been a large part of the body politic.
Do you think most Irish or German or Italian immigrants fifty or a hundred years ago were any well informed than these people are?
As rush has pointed out for quite sometime now LIVs are a fact of life and republicans/conservatives have to acknowledge that and vastly improve their messaging to these people rather than complain about it.
And as rush also points out LIVs aren’t just the simpletons of society but also the educated who just aren’t that engaged in the news/politics of the day and thus are easily manipulated/lied to.
Yet according to this:

Those in the video aren’t among the eighty-two percent obviously. Obama voters, I’d suppose.
Oh, so many bingos above.
Sad.
Just think, these people have the right to vote. Then again, they probably don’t bother.
It used to be “I love America because it’s a free country”.
That’s a whole lot better than merely “I love America because I live here”.
Any fool can be patriotic.
The shallow end of the gene pool. Miles wide and a inch deep. The adoration for Jack and Justin shows Canada is no better.
Then a again, Rasmussen is showing all results while the video is showing only the dumb ones.
It’s like sooooooo got to the point that, like, every time I like, hear someone say ‘like’, I like kind of think that they’re, like, you knoooowwww…..

“I’m and ignorant idiot – AND I VOTE!”
Only 3 people from Canada since I’ve been on-line since 96 have been able to Name all the Provinces , territories & capitals.
As for Geography Canadians are just as stupid. I figure we have a better score because most of the Provinces are in a straight line.
The problem is that we don’t know how long this video was orignally or how much it had been edited. Its very possible that all the people who answered the questions correctly were edited out. So, unless you see the whole, complete video, without edits, these videos should be taken with a grain of salt.
