Perhaps old Tommy isn't as stupid as we think...or some of Canada is...

The Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey, released Friday, suggests slightly more Canadians disagree than agree with Mr. Mulcair — 45 per cent compared to 41 per cent — although opinions varied across the country.
The telephone survey of just over 1,000 people was carried out between May 17 and 20 and has a margin of error of 3.1 per cent, 19 times out of 20.
Most people polled in oil-rich Alberta and the rest of the Prairies disagreed with the NDP leader, while those in Quebec and British Columbia were most likely to agree with him.
The poll indicates most people don’t share Mr. Mulcair’s sentiments in Ontario, the country’s manufacturing heartland, where the economy has been hard hit from the restructuring of the North American auto sector and other blue-collar industries.
But a study by the Canadian Energy Research Institute says Ontario enjoys the lion’s share of oil sands benefits outside Alberta. The Calgary-based think-tank has suggested the oil sands will create billions of dollars in economic spinoffs in Ontario and tens of thousands of jobs over the next quarter century.
