A majority of Canadians believe U.S. foreign policy was one of the root causes that led to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, and Quebecers are quicker to criticize the U.S. administration for its international actions than other Canadians, a recent poll suggests.

Those conclusions are found in a newly released poll conducted by Léger Marketing for the Association for Canadian Studies.

The poll suggests that 77 per cent of Quebecers polled primarily blame American foreign policy for the Sept. 11 attacks. The results suggest 57 per cent in Ontario hold a similar view.

Canadian opinions have hardened against the United States and its role on the world stage, said Jack Jedwab, executive director of the Association for Canadian Studies. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have contributed to a change of heart among people, he said.

Canadians would be more conservative if better informed<. Unfortunately now most believe what they read in the Star or hear on the CBC.

Your post would be more credible if you were better informed.
The Star has a total readership of 1M or 4% of the Canadian population and the CBC has so few viewers that it has to be Gov't subsidized.
Rather than fixating on your Canadian neighbours, you might want to focus a little on your good buddy neighbours to the south of you who are swarming over the border.
Both the U.S. and Canadian MSMs are very similar and to suggest that ours makes yours look Conservative suggests that you are either ignorant or stupid..

You have me mixed up with someone else. I was only quoting another poster.
