    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.

          That’s actually encouragingly low, in light of their usual appetite for smiting enemies.

            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

                  Why is this showing percentages in a positive light compared to their obvious negative?

                        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.

                                          I think it’s hard for people in other countries to realize how deeply propagandized Americans have been for their entire lives. They are relentlessly taught that the USA is the greatest country and the only place anyone in their right mind would want to live, and that the USA brings freedom to the world, even as they suffer bad working conditions, crappy housing, a violent society and poor education and healthcare. They believe they are the only country with true freedom, even as they’re allowed to embrace a range of political views all the way from neoliberalism to fascism, murdered by brutal armed police, and imprisoned at the highest rate in the world.

                                          So some of these will be so steeped in the propaganda that they genuinely believe US invasions are doing other countries a favour.
