Of course, more Americans have “Canadian values” than there are Canadians
Watching CBC’s National, we’re talking about how Canadian and US values are diverging. (Did those votes for Harper mean otherwise? No. I might find them frighteningly right-wing for Canada, but they’re pretty much in line with the Democrats in the US.)
One question was “Should the man be the master of the house?” 52% of Americans said yes, 21% of Canadians did. And what was one of the explanations the pollster gave: older people are leaving Canada for the great random sample in the sky.

Maybe they caught all the senior citizens at home on Tuesday before they headed to the grocery store for their discounts.
?? In other words, WHAT?

You know, you choose a random sample of people to poll them? Yeah. It’s a really bad joke. I think the idea that he thought it was apppropriate to make this comment on the CBC was more amusing than the “joke” itself.
