jdobbin Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/stor...?hub=TopStories The BBC World Service poll, for which GlobeScan conducted interviews across 21 countries, showed Canada had the second-best rating with 57 per cent seeing it as having a positive influence in the world. It would appear that our ranking is affected in part by our politics. Turkey, for example, views Canada negatively because of our focus on Armenian genocide. There was a similar increase in negative feelings in Russia toward Canada. The researcher didn't know why. I'd look to see when the poll was taken to see if hockey was involved. Germany had the highest favourable profile. Quote

jbg Posted December 25, 2009 Report Posted December 25, 2009 No matter what anyone says, I love Canada. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
