Busy day but never too late to say I'm honoured to moderate the BC leaders debate on Oct 13 630-8pm.

Here's a few thoughts via a mini thread...

#BCvotes2020
First, here's more info about how to access and watch:
Lots of conscientious planning + work goes into producing these debates. I'm the public face of it, but seasoned, smart, passionate BC political journalists are doing a lot of heavy lifting. This amazing team will be come together to discuss & decide on the q's leaders will face.
I am no pollyanna, but I have faith @jjhorgan @Wilkinson4BC @SoniaFurstenau will debate vigorously AND respectfully.

The big winners on d-night should be BC voters and democracy. I will do all I can to ensure this!
But also, given Tuesday night, please pray for me!!
And finally, thanks to everyone who called, texted, emailed or tweeted kind words and good wishes today. Means a lot.

Hello. Today, June 23, is commemorated as National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism. How many Canadians know why? The answer, very sadly, is very few. But I'm going to make a thread about this that I hope will be informative ... I invite you to follow along. #airindia
Last year, I mused out loud in this op-ed for @ottawacitizen about how many Canadians would know why June 23 is important in our history....ottawacitizen.com/opinion/column…
As a pollster, I am uniquely positioned to ask Canadians. So I decided to find out.

Hi. This is the National Day of Remembrance of Victims of Terrorism. I must remember next year to poll on what Canadians think originated this day.

A thread ... I invite you to follow along.
If I was guessing, I'd guess significant numbers of people in this country think the worst incident of terrorism perpetrated on Canadian citizens was 9/11. Others might think of the Nova Scotia shootings, the attack on Parliament Hill, or something else.
It was in fact, the bombings of Air India Flight 182 (and the coordinated bombing of a CP jetliner in Tokyo). These attacks killed 331 people.

268 were Canadian.

Hey Hey Happy Wednesday everyone. We've been working hard at @angusreidorg and can show you our latest federal vote intention numbers. Follow along as I walk you through them.
To begin, you can read the full report, download detailed tables, read up on methodology and fielding dates here: angusreid.org/federal-politi…
This was a survey of more than 5000 Cdns coast to coast so we can look at lots of different data cuts, (& we will) but here's the main story: 3 weeks from a Throne Speech & possible election, @liberal_party & @CPC_HQ are tied in voter intention among decided voters: #cdnpoli Image

Gooooood Day Happy Monday everyone! Especially happy to share our fresh new data on premiers' approvals from coast to coast.

I'm going to do a little thread here, feel free to follow along!
First off, you can read the whole report, get information about fielding dates, sample size and methodology by following this link:

angusreid.org/premier-approv…
Secondly, it's time for my usual disclaimer. Yes, PEI we ❤️you. Yes, you are DEFINITELY a part of Canada. No we didn't forget you. No, we can't include your premier due to small sample sizes based on small population. Same as we can't include territorial leaders for that reason.

Heartbroken and apoplectic at the same time...

The summer I finished university, I worked on a documentary project in and around the Saguenay. Beautiful country, kind people BUT...
That's because they generally assumed I was white, with "Latin" roots. I didn't always bother to correct or explain.

Good morning! It's another busy one at @angusreidorg as we release new data on the experiences of Canadians of Chinese ethnicity since the #COVID19 pandemic began. Follow along as I walk you through the results.
This research is part of a partnership between @angusreidorg and @Psych_UAlberta. You can read the full report and get more information on the q'aire and methodology here: angusreid.org/racism-chinese…
We surveyed a national, representative cross-section of Canadians who self-identify as being ethnically Chinese. Here's a snapshot of where they were born: Image
