...

66 per cent of Canadians support the decision to invoke the Emergencies Act and 67 per cent say it’s time to clear out all protesters in Ottawa, even if it means “people who will not leave may get hurt, or worse.”

...

32 per cent of Canadians are open to using violence to protect their “fundamental Canadian values” if they believe their government isn’t doing it for them.

...

68 per cent of Canadians believe that any politician who either contributed to or supported the protests should be voted out of office.

The poll surveyed 1,518 Canadian adults via an online panel between Feb. 15 and 16...

An online poll?

Complete garbage.

About as trustworthy I would imagine.

If true, tyranny by the majority, also known as “democracy,” where a majority has the power to strip a minority of basic human rights, as well as property. We vote that your property is ours.

Poll, shmoll. Didn’t they threatened to take money out of the bank of persons who supported the Convoy? Doubt if many told the truth to the pollster. Who wants to be doxxed?

Liberal lackeys bite the hand that feeds them and lick the boots that kick them.

You’re right, this looks like disinfo, released through the conservative paper to demoralize.

Thanks for catching this.

Same Canadian media that has constantly lied and spread the propaganda of Nazi truckers and white supremist. The same media that said the protests were small groups of extremists. This pole is nothing but more propaganda to designed to make people believe they are in the minority.

“The poll surveyed 1,518 Canadian adults via an online panel”

As of 2022 the Canadian population =
38,278,986

Poll = 1,518 Canadians

That represents around 0.004% of the Canadian population.

IOW garbage poll

Note the poll question includes the comment, “even if people get hurt” We are supposed to believe 66% of the average citizens want their fellow common citizen to be hurt if they do not comply? Just not buying that!

That is written to scare people the poll is garbage.

Meanwhile, three - thirds of Canada is in a run on the banks of Canada, before little boy Trudeau accuses them of a wrong-think Facebook post and seizes all the money.

That little twerp need to go before the country collapses into violent civil war.

“Using powers granted under the Emergencies Act, the federal government has directed banks and other financial institutions to stop doing business with people associated with the anti-vaccine mandate convoy occupying the nation’s capital.”

“The order says that banks and other financial entities (like credit unions, co-ops, loan companies, trusts and cryptocurrency platforms) must stop “providing any financial or related services” to people associated with the protests — a move that will result in frozen accounts, stranded money and cancelled credit cards.” https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/emergencies-act-banks-ottawa-protests-1.6353968

So guess what the Freedom Convoy supporters are doing? Going to the ATMs and pulling out a bunch of cash. As ATMs run out of cash, non-supporters are going to be trying to get their money too. The Prime Minister and his Minister of Finance may have actually created a nationwide bank run.

Mr. Trudeau, is that what you call “responsible leadership”?

They have no idea who responds to an online poll. The same person could submit hundreds of responses.

Online polls are for entertainment purposes only.
