jdobbin Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
