MARIJUANA POLL QUESTIONED

A poll commissioned by CTV News states nearly 70 per cent of 
Canadians are in favour of marijuana legalization. The poll includes 
responses from 1,000 Canadians aged 18 or older and was conducted 
between May 27 and June 1, 2016.

What is wrong with this picture? Nothing if you emphasize that the 
word "nearly". It is a major understatement considering the poll 
represents considerably less than one per cent of the total 
population of Canada.

Seriously, are readers considered to be stupid enough to believe the 
majority of Canadians support the legalization of a drug that has the 
potential to not only lead to more highway fatalities but the use of 
stronger drugs?

How much longer will we accept being treated as fools?
