Re-read what I said, Annie. The paper made the error of saying Gloria was the newly elected MP… it wasn’t Gloria who said that or thought that.

However, if that was the number of respondents in the poll then it would not be valid as they would all be complete or partial complete interviews. Considering the response rate for a political poll is in the neigbourhood of 10% I cannot see this number being the sample size. That would have lead to less than 500 completed questionnaires.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('16030','Ottlib'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('16030','Ottlib','If that 3369 was the number of the sample then your question would be valid.\r\n\r\nHowever, if that was the number of respondents in the poll then it would not be valid as they would all be complete or partial complete interviews.\r\n\r\nConsidering the response rate for a political poll is in the neigbourhood of 10% I cannot see this number being the sample size.

Carroll is a gruff person who interrupts and overtalks his guests when he has guests in the studio. I’m surprised that
Dion would put up with such ignorance the “host” but maybe that type of things comes with the territory.

So, it comes as no surprise the ignorance and mendacity when it comes to liberals on talk radio.
