66 per cent of respondents want Canada to remain an independent nation

Huh. The 33% implied in the text is weirdly double the 17% reported. Who are the delusional 16% who want to take over the country, but without using a word they can't pronounce or define?

    There's a graphic in the article with a breakdown, 17% are "Not sure"

    While that's normal for surveys like this, it's also annoying. They're unsure about if they want a war with their next door neighbour?

    Some people are just too alienated from things and when asked about their opinion, they're like 'errr I don't know, not sure', and that's usually not because they understand the matter but are unsure of it, but because they don't understand the matter at all
