Four out of five Canadians say they have no confidence in the U.S. under President Donald Trump’s leadership, with existing tensions expected to be exacerbated by latest tariffs
The rigging would have to be fucking astronomical given the polling.
And there is a double barrier. The October referendum is just asking IF a REAL referendum should be had. A vote about having a vote. Even a “yes, have a vote” result would be an incredible deviation from polling. Not just a little. A LOT. A full supermajority polls at “no”. Even if the next largest block of “i don’t know” swung entirely to “leave” it still shouldn’t be close.
So before any real vote could even occur, the tampering would be plainly apparent.
People didn’t give trump enough credit in early polling. Don’t let polling stop you from voting in your best interest because it seems far fetched, even if it needs a parliamentary vote, don’t expect evil to sit still while we’re sitting on our hands
But it’s realistically it’s statistically not the same thing. It’s 18% leave vs 72% stay. Although Trump overperformed in 2016, it was from a 45% vs 55% back footing.
Warning against complacency are well recieved, but there is an order of magnitude difference on the overperformance required of the leavers to win this vs the overperformance Trump needed.
Yeah, fair, it’s pageantry, it stokes division more than it actually achieves. The price of society is vigilance and all that, I just won’t underestimate how much power greed and idiocy hold over us, all you have to do is look at the case study southward.

Why is polling even legal. It serves no purpose. I’m supposed to change my vote after surveying a small bunch of idiots?
Oh I’ll still vote.
