so, canadians are all of a sudden concerned about the deficit - if you ask them facile questions about it.

am i concerned about the deficit, too? sort of. i'd probably say somewhat. but, what i'm concerned about is the imf coming in and forcing restructuring, and the way to address my concerns is to increase taxes.

they didn't ask that question.

and, is my concern enough to affect my vote? no.

polling can give you the answers you pay for, if you design the questions appropriately.

careful you don't fall into a trap on that.
