Pretty poor-ass timing. Or did he do it on purpose?

The only people replying to those things are Conservatives, so this just tells you what Conservative voters think.

A bunch of racist old whites don’t like indigenous folks. Shocking.

Seniors, seniors reply. Most normal conservatives are too busy working or volunteering at church to have time for to respond, while the ultra conservatives will not give their information away to some on line poll as they're all controlled by Soros. Also surprised there is nothing about freedoms/ travel restrictions or COVID in general

Of course it's meaningless. Only old people are responding to a MP newsletter poll. The shocking part is that Len Webber felt no need to address the result in the text of his newsletter today.

That's BS. Canadians are gradually waking up to the fact that their situation in life is deteriorating, and that our Federal Government better start refocusing on priorities that are going to turn things around.

Like cutting taxes, spending less, and most of all spending more while paying down debt.

Just every day reasonable Canadians who above all want less immigrants even though they will bring in more money

It's BS that Conservatives respond most to questions form Conservative MPs? I suspect it goes the same for any other party. The rest of your post is just you projection your own opinions, not fact.

And seniors are impoverished at a lower rate then the other demographics. Why? Because they have a universal basic income that puts them at the poverty line for a single person.

I think the polls are just starting to tell us that. Most of my family, and some of my closest friends are back east in Ontario and Quebec, and I sense a definite change in the wind.

Canadians are not stupid.

But they will be if they consider voting for PP.

Universal Basic Income for seniors is $996. I'm pretty sure that the people that did this poll have no idea what the UBI discussion is about.

Also, the insistence of an 'us and them' attitude in labeling all conservatives as one hive mind, isn't helping. It's the equivalent of certain conservatives yelling 'woke' at everything.

Ol' Len surveyed 'the community'. We can speculate at what community that might be.

Are you suggesting those who disagree with you are stupid?

I live in Toronto with friends and family. I don't sense an impending change of political mind in the GTA from anyone I know, which is where Milhouse is going to have to figure out how to win friends and influence people to really turn the tide. Well, maybe in Etobicoke he can make some strides.

In fact, the municipal election next month for the new TO Mayor might just be a good litmus test for the appetite for progressive politics here. Will be interesting to watch.

Canadians will be stupid if they do not demand better from ALL politicians. It's not like JT or Singh are any better.

Yes, some Canadians are indeed Oilers fans.

It’s super weird and unexpected that the guy who was swayed by a single speech and the idea that PP’s wife is calling the shots suddenly senses “the winds of change” in Canada.

Would probably confuse a fart on the other side of the city for an impending chinook.
