You ‘quote Polls’ endlessly as you’re ‘Driving The Narrative - for ‘somebody’..

while neither presenting or including the Related Questions or Context

or who is paying the freight for your ‘poll.. Quo Bono & Why ?

One might ‘Assume’ ? It’s all about ‘Popularity ? Or ‘Hate Level’ ?

It can’t be about Individual ‘Broken Ridings & Canadians .. across ‘the wide land’ ..

Ain’t seen a Single Poll inquiring if Federal Riding - Carleton, Ontario Voters

- feel Broken, their Lives Out Of Control, & will Not Deposit ‘Carbon Levy Rebates

& Feel Free to get back to coherent Canadians some day soon .. if ever

Thank you for this extensive Background

but nothing can replace an ‘Actual Question’ & all Context - if Any

Said otherwise - why are Canadians NOT Privy to

what Poll Respondents are presented with & Privy too ?

We have to ‘take it on faith’ who the mysterious people are..

& yes yes.. ‘but Canadians just want the ‘answer ..

or they don’t have time for ‘the details..

Or who’s Vested Interests - commissioned & Paid

Am very clear re Polls as 5 second ‘news hit’ Headline News

and/or conveniently dropped into purpose built ‘journalism

for almost instant.. cutting & pasting & echoing into ‘Social NEWS Media’

Social Media also Includes PR & Propaganda from Political Actors -

that’s rampant & includes Elected Public Servants..

such as Pierre Poilievre ‘Personally ! According to Fred DeLorey & an Embedded PR Entity

Mr Poilievre is ‘currently the most prolific & attended Political News Source in Canada

Am somewhat unclear if that’s ’a Public Service.. Are Polls ‘a Public Service ?
