Angus Reid

I’ve been doing public opinion research for over 50 years. Not aligned with any political party. Polling is about far more than horse race surveys.

How does an ad from a Canadian province become a national security matter?? US supreme court will be taking notes.

@DanScavino Canadians consume huge quantities of US media. Americans get almost no Canadian media.

@acoyne Wait for Trump to get his guy at FCC to ban the ad!

@brianlilley Exactly

the words used in Ontario’s Ronald Reagan advertisement are accurate excerpts from a 1987 radio address Ronald Reagan gave while president. The ad draws directly from Reagan’s remarks defending free trade and warning against tariffs as economically harmful policies.[nationalpost +3]
In the advertisement, Reagan’s voice is heard saying statements such as:
•“When someone says, ‘Let’s impose tariffs on foreign imports,’ it looks like they’re doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs.”
•“But over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer.”
•“High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars.”
•“Then the worst happens: Markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industries shut down, and millions of people lose their jobs.”[toronto.citynews +1]
These are authentic quotations from his 1987 address on trade policy, when Reagan was warning Americans that protectionism leads to economic decline. Media outlets such as Bloomberg, Politico, and the Financial Post have confirmed that Ontario’s ad accurately reproduces these parts of Reagan’s original speech without alteration or misquotation.[politico +2]
Therefore, the language in the Ontario anti-tariff ad attributed to Reagan is correct—the ad uses his actual words from 1987, properly quoted and contextually consistent.

Why does PM Carney insist on wearing his Order of Canada pin - especially at international events? Most Canadians don't recognize this piece of jewelry. And no one internationally knows what this is. Why not the Maple Leaf??

On this special day recognizing the past treatment on indigenous peoples in Canada, there remains many thorny debates and a divided public on several key issues. See full results at https://t.co/1tspowE5uc

I’m confused. CTV just put out a story that the Feds are forcing binding arbitration for Air Canada strike/ Lock out. CBC has nothing on this. Who is our national broadcaster?

[Angus Reid @AngusReid]

Vast majority across party lines would like to see the Feds resolve this issue once and for all

1. Only about 25% would give First Nations veto rights over national infrastructure projects that involve FN lands. Most opt for “meaningful” negotiations and about 25% say ignore the FN groups altogether. Big difference across party lines.
2. On UNDRIP – about 50% of Canadians have never heard of it. They appear to support it in principle – with big difference again between Liberals and Conservatives.. But when told that about this policy most say that UNDRIP commitments should be scaled back if they get in the way of energy and infrastructure projects. 
Later in this series we’ll be looking specifically at the situation in BC.
Next up : a look at views on TRC and the Kamloops graves issue.  Coming in a couple of days.
