Commentary

There is compelling evidence in this poll that following the recent provincial election in British Columbia, the natives are restless. The recent provincial election will likely be remembered more for the poor voter turnout---than anything else.

This evidence is consistent throughout this ROBBINS poll where respondents would appear to reject any fee increase and where a majority obviously perceive our political and government institutions as not only corrupt (lowering of standards) but perhaps criminally so.

The bright light here (not unexpected) was the response to our last (entertainment) question regarding Canadian security relative to U.S. presidential leadership, where an unprecedented 76% of lower mainland respondents in Greater Vancouver are of the opinion that Canada’s safety has increased with Barack Obama as president.

With the 2010 Olympics coming to Vancouver----one has to (Stevie) wonder if U.S. President Barack Obama is a Superstitious man.
