The Canadian way, blame everyone but yourself, although I have to say that after 5 months down south, it appears to be universal. I'd like to see the demographics of those surveyed. Most of the time this is done by phone, not in person. No latitude to say "but" to the question. Don't think Canadians are stupid, but do believe we don't always think through the answer, besides, what would the news be without surveys like this. As an aside, been offline for a week, travelling back from down south, and everything went for hell in a hand basket. Harper's getting pummelled, market is in the toilet; don't have my T4 from work yet; however, weather in Victoria is improving. Must be thankful for small miracles. Survey says, accurate four times out of five. Cheers

yes people in general are that stupid and greedy as are the people running the financial system if they think the people are going to regulate themselves when they get access to easy credit. Kind of dumb like having taxpayer backed mortgage insurance on all the riskiest loans in the country for corporations which main business model is loaning money and growing at all costs. i'm so glad the cmhc crisis is going to unfold during hapers reign, timing is everything and i for one can't wait for harper to flounder his way out of the 600 billion dollar payment(or more is the conservatives foolishly allow cmhc to grow its liabilities even further), all to bail out his banker buddies.
