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.

Okay, last response.
Yes I did count the number of Caucasian people and "non white" … and now I'm getting into your language as I recognize these are not binary categories.
As for any sort of correlation between supporting veterans and wearing a poppy? Of course there is, don't pretend to be so stupid. Seems like you don't get correlation.
What did I hope to demonstrate? Absolutely nothing more than satisfying my curiosity. I had to run some errands and had quite a bit of walking ahead of me. And again, I was surprised and disappointed by how few poppies were out there.
Stick to being a text critic, and a few other adjectives, I'll stick to, among other things, producing research for different levels of government. I was the first to bring up the lack factors not being accounted for and such.
Have a good night troll.
