" In a #PushPoll, large numbers of voters are contacted with little effort made to collect and analyze their response data. Instead, the push poll is a form of #telemarketing -based propaganda and #RumorMongering masquerading as an opinion poll. "
#PushPolling en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_poll " A #PushPoll is an interactive marketing technique, most commonly employed during #PoliticalCampaigning, in which a person or organization attempts to manipulate or alter #ProspectiveVoters' views under the guise of conducting an #OpinionPoll. "

A week or so ago, I wrote about an absolutely horribly-designed poll from the government of Canada, theoretically asking Canadians what they thought we should be doing about "AI". I said that it was tilted so far in favour of AI - the questions basically embedded assumptions that we need AI, we need to subsidize it, we need companies to build it here - that it may as well have been written by Sam Altman.

It was 99% propaganda.

Well, this fellow has posted the questions and his answers. I encourage Canadians to read it, and answer the poll themselves as well.
