Default CTV Firearms Poll

CTV Montreal is doing the same poll as the recent one commissioned by the press concerning banning firearms in urban areas, but the results are much different, with twice as many people voting so far. Amazing what happens when the poll is open to anyone, rather than a selected target audience. Scroll almost to the bottom for the poll. So far 73% against banning firearms in urban areas.

More like it's just an honest unbiased poll, as opposed to the B.S. poll that has been in the news the past few days.

I e-mailed my MP informing him of the poll and the results, just so he can bring it up, when the liberals bring up the other poll.

Did anyone else vote on your computer or phone, or using another phone or computer using the same router/modem? I believe that each IP address can only vote once.

Now why would anyone openly admit to doing that on a public forum and being successful

Nobody is admitting to any wrongdoing. If another family member voted on his phone/computer, or using the same router/modem, he would not be allowed to vote. Three people use the WIFI in our home, but only one of us can vote on the poll using WIFI.

And yet it's likely more accurate than the poll that has been in the news for the past few days.

Can vote multiple times if we clear our browser cache every time, works. I’ve just voted “no” 10 times.
