Polls

Canadian news reports of the Beijing Olympics have mostly been on China's problems. Why?

	We should focus on China's failings as they threaten the world's environment, safety, health and human rights.
	A case of sour grapes as the Canadian media doesn't want to recognise China's achievements.
	Lack of diversity in Canada's mainstream media means that only white journalists get to write about China.

Led by Alberta, real estate prices are tumbling across Canada. How worried should we be?

	Very worried. The collapse of the real estate market will soon lead to other economic problems.
	Concerned, but not worried. Our economy is in good shape without the credit woes of the US.
