    66 per cent of respondents want Canada to remain an independent nation

    Huh. The 33% implied in the text is weirdly double the 17% reported. Who are the delusional 16% who want to take over the country, but without using a word they can’t pronounce or define?

      There’s a graphic in the article with a breakdown, 17% are “Not sure”

      While that’s normal for surveys like this, it’s also annoying. They’re unsure about if they want a war with their next door neighbour?

        Usually that also includes “didn’t respond”/DR/NR. I would assume this was a multi question survey and that 17% includes at least some DR/NR.

              Some people are just too alienated from things and when asked about their opinion, they’re like ‘errr I don’t know, not sure’, and that’s usually not because they understand the matter but are unsure of it, but because they don’t understand the matter at all

                          One because 17% is shockingly high and two because 66% of people wanting them to remain independent it’s shockingly low. There’s no positive here at all.

                            I mean yea 17 is 17 too high. No win here… But it feels weird to log 17 like it was 71.

                                    I don’t want them to be Canadian either though. We have enough problems with Alberta. Pulling in any state will be even worse.

                                        17% is more than one in six. That number sounds uncomfortably high.

                                        I know perhaps two dozen Americans who are friends, current and former colleagues, or family. It’s disturbing to think that statistically there are perhaps 3 or 4 that don’t think that the country that I love, that is my home, that has allied with them and sacrificed for that alliance, should exist. That I should bow to their power. It’s psycho shit.

                                          1 in 6 is not low.
