    66 per cent of respondents want Canada to remain an independent nation

    Huh. The 33% implied in the text is weirdly double the 17% reported. Who are the delusional 16% who want to take over the country, but without using a word they can’t pronounce or define?

      There’s a graphic in the article with a breakdown, 17% are “Not sure”

      While that’s normal for surveys like this, it’s also annoying. They’re unsure about if they want a war with their next door neighbour?

        Usually that also includes “didn’t respond”/DR/NR. I would assume this was a multi question survey and that 17% includes at least some DR/NR.

        No, they’re not “not sure”, they’re just cowards unwilling to voice their opinion because they know it’s morally objectionable.
