Did you count the number of "non-white" people in your survey? Did you count the number of white people who were also not wearing poppies? Did you account for the multiple, various reasons for why anyone you saw was without a poppy? Did you bother to consider that wearing a poppy in no way correlates to the vague idea of "support" for Canada's military, or is an indicator of patriotism?

"Just sayin" = take it how you want. Don't take it, as I really don't care. But essentially every element of this thread is opinion, starting with Cherry's.

So, why did you "just say" what you said in the first place? Is there a good reason to undertake the survey that you attempted to do? What did you hope to demonstrate through this exercise?
I mean, my opinion of your actions and your report is pretty unflattering. It looks to me like you don't understand the first thing about science, statistics, correlation and causation, and have an incredibly shallow view of what it means to be Canadian. If you intended me to understand something different, then you will most certainly need to clarify.
