Mr. Graves' original comments, which were first quoted by columnist Lawrence Martin in The Globe, suggested he had told the Liberal Party it should invoke a "culture war" to battle the Conservatives. He described this as a battle between "cosmopolitanism versus parochialism, secularism versus moralism, Obama versus Palin, tolerance versus racism and homophobia, democracy versus autocracy. If the cranky old men in Albera don't like it, too bad. Go south and vote for Palin."

As for the 4 statement questions:
-Canada's economic growth lags well behind the G7 average;
-Vaccine-related deaths are being concealed from the public;
-The right to bear arms is guaranteed in Canada's constitution; and
-Climate change is caused by greenhouse gas emissions.
All of these are leaning / leading questions
Question 1, you would tend to agree if you don't like the current government, while disagree if leaning Liberal, even without knowing the truth. This I expect most Canadians would have zero idea if this is true or false and it's also misleading as Bizaro86 pointed out.
Question 2 caters to the freedumb fighters / conspiracy mindset, who are predominantly PPC or CPC.
Question 3 is an obvious one, that could only be gotten wrong by uninformed Trump like supporters (see freedumb fighters)
Question 4 is an interesting one as while climate change has many factors, greenhouse gas emissions is one of the main causes. I expect CPC voters to be less informed about climate change.
I expect that nearly all CPC voters would get question 1 'wrong' (and I put in quotes, as our GDP growth is mainly doing well due to our population growth and our real GDP per capita is actually falling behind (though not well behind).

So no matter what, the hand selected questions are written to ensure a bias to show that CPC voters will be more misinformed than counterparts. The questions already had a predetermined outcome.
That in itself is misinformation.
