So I guess they wheedle a tax on external hard drives now since they have become the storage choice of many, and hold about 120 DVDs.

That 45% includes media industry employees, the elderly, PC illiterate, gov reps and those with mental dysfunction (44% in all)

note these polls do not take into account th eyouth that has been awakened and the 32000 more facebook members who have joined in less than 8 days, also while you say 45% the funny part is that is incorrect.
its more like 45% disprove and average 30% approve. With 20% not commenting. The poll itself did not sample enough of the very youth from age 18-35 which even if 10% of them vote will change the face of the next govt.

Quebec, those idiot bloc heads better realize that once youth gets a grasp over there , the NDP and liberals will run you over un less you change your PRO – MPAA ( that c-10 lady MP who every day got up and whined for them) and PRO – RIAA party.
Basically the BLOC party is dead and so is the conservatives.

In there stronghold province , 45% oppose the bill while 37% approve. It is pretty sad when you bring an issue to the table where you piss off the very people that gave you what , a majority , no a minority.
Look to the green party getting its 1st seats, the liberals gaining in quebec as well as ndp.
and over all see a much less NEO CON presence in canada.

FIX the bills that were stupidly made, correct the economy, and fix the environment.
ALSO the new liberal carbon tax is REALLY BAD for people on FIXED incomes, we dont pay much taxes and wont make up the differacne the landlord shoves back at us.

Bad very bad. need a fix there otherwise good move dion.

It is fishy that Angus Reid provides no information as to the demographics used in the survey. I would like to see the number of people who were polled, their geographic location, a breakdown of the number of people by age, sex, etc. It does not bode well that they do not include any of this basic information which, anyone who has taken a course regarding surveys knows, is the basic criteria to make a survey legitimate and honest. Does Angus Reid think that Canadians are stupid?
