Not to upset you but PM MC has hired an American, Maia Johnson as his newly created PMO position, Chief Operations Officer. I think Carney, while not thrilled with Trump, still trust Americans. ohh, and he has a house down there. Plus lots of investments. Just saying.

So he’s keeping an open objective mind, and dealing with people based on the history and record of their actions. Not an unreasonable approach.

why would that be upsetting? Just because Canada is having difficulties with the trump administration doesn't mean everything american is tainted.

1000-1500 Canadians may have said this? Accepting your math, no, lets double it, lets say it was 3000 Canadians. Yeah, I hardly accept that as representing the 41 million Canadians as a whole.

Next poll of 2000 Canadians showing the CPC ahead of the LPC I'll make sure to dismiss out of hand.

In my OPINION, accepting the views of maybe 3,000 Canadians as representing 41 million Canadians is foolish at best.

Yeah, cool, I'll wait around tomorrow for the next poll of 41 million Canadians.

Every poll less than that is clearly too small a sample size.

What a joke.

42,000 people in 36 countries mean around 1,200 respondents per country. For a Canadian poll to be statistically relevant, 1,000 to 1,500 people would need to respond. Assuming 1,200 Canadians responded, it is statistically relevant, whether you like it or not….

In that case, why mention the other 41,000 people at all? Why not just present it as a poll of 1,200 Canadians?

Science says it is statistically relevant.

Agreed. We all have biases or at the very least, emotions that can influence how we perceive polls.

Being mature is having emotions and biaises and being able to look past them to make decisions based on objective observation.

This is pretty damning for the CPC. I really don't understand how they can continue to fail and not recognize changes are needed.

IMHO Carney is starting to show weakness and the CPC simply cannot turn that into gain, and the only reason I see is PP. He needs to go.

I used to work alongside a statistician. Most of what he tried to explain to me might as well have been Swahili, but at least I understood that there is a fair bit of math applied to the data they use to ensure its credibility.

Actually determining statistically significant sample sizes isnt that hard and isnt new. Most research in the real world is limited by money and time
