July 22, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A random telephone poll of Canadian households with 13,324 respondents conducted between July 17-21, 2008 has revealed that 55.8% of Canadians oppose the awarding of the Order of Canada to abortionist Henry Morgentaler.When it comes to regional breakdown, it appears that the only province where the "yes" vote outnumbered the "no" was Quebec. Only 47% of Quebecers oppose the backdoor deal that gave Morguentaler the Order of Canada. No wonder Quebec rapidly changes from distinct society to extinct society. In other provinces, this decision is denounced by a solid majority - from 55% in British Columbia to 68% in Nova Scotia.
Interesting, isn't it? It was just a couple weeks ago when Ipsos Reid and Angus Reid claimed that at least 60% of Canadians (if not two thirds) support the decision to grant Canada's chief abortionist the highest civilian honor. Of course, their numbers were at odds with every single online poll which showed that majority of Canadians were against the decision. But, as many suggested, online polls could easily be hijacked by a group of activists, while professional pollsters make sure the respondents are selected randomly...
Well, either there has been a massive swing on the issue in just two week time or Angus Reid and Ipsos Reid simply didn't ask enough people. When the new poll went as far as surveying over 13,000 respondents (as opposed to slightly more than 1000 surveyed by other pollsters), the results turned out to be completely different. And somehow - those results are quite close to what many online polls were showing in the beginning of July.
