July 2011 Polling

Here are the results of your poll questions for the month of July. While much was happening in the world, it was a slow month for Canadian politics; that is until recently when our political landscape started heating up with various revelations coming from the official opposition. We found out that Linda Duncan has the worst hairdo in politics, while 25% of you think Bob Rae will be the next permanent leader of the NDP if Jack Layton is unable to return. A slim majority (97%) of you think that the names and pictures of suspected war criminals should be published to the Canadian public. 3% of you think gas taxes should be increased to fund public transit expansion.
