same sex marriage in canada

submitted by jmockler on thu, 2006-10-05 07:50.

The online vote AGAINST same-sex marriage is 80%, 18,574 votes. This is plain weird. Likely right-wing lobby groups and so on have apprised members about the Globe poll. Since it is a poll that is often quoted and touted as a barometer of Canadian public opinion, people pay attention to it.

Having had a friend who was a member some years ago, I know what some of their tactics are. Let's keep the fight for human rights going. It looks like we may have to do some work.

I just did my bit. I notice that it's now 77% "No", 23% "Yes". Hey, don't look at me that way! I only voted once!

Now it's 63%. (On a quick read, I thought this was a real survey and couldn't believe the number.)

Well it looks like the suspected result manipulation was unsuccessful! I'm not sure of the results of any recent "real" surveys, but I think this is a little closer to reality than 80/20.
