Here is another excellent example of Kevin rejecting actual data that is counter to his argument. That's no problem for Kev; he can just make up his own data!
So first, let's review the actual numbers. Polls of Canadians show a majority actually support legalized marijuana. A
poll of Canadians from earlier this year show that 63% are in favor of legalization of marijuana. That seems way off from the 95% opposing that Kevin seems to think he has "discovered." So why the difference?
Survey design is a science that is intended to decrease bias. One way that surveys can be biased is with leading questions. I wonder if Kevin would ever dream of asking someone a leading question?? Also, the population of the survey must reflect the general population. There may be some self selection of a population that is talking to an white, male, anti-marijuana lobbyist. I somehow doubt that his sample population was free of selection bias and represented the diversity in racial, ethnic, gender, age, income, etc., groups that would be needed to actually make any claims.
Overall, this tweet has the scientific veracity of a
Heathers lunchtime poll. But in Kevin's world, when the data is against you, just make up your own facts!
