Further, I had reported issues with Mainstreet's specific questions right from the on-set, including that they went back three times before the numbers were what Post-Media wanted - and that was reported as the first poll. We also know that Mainstreet was suspended from the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association of Canada.

The other two polls by different agencies were quite consistent, including specific demographic information. The latest poll was actually conducted by academics from universities, and according to third party political scientists, was seen to be the most accurate and clean methodologically.
All being said, my fave from the last couple days has been Andre Chabot saying that if he had to pick between Nenshi and Smith, he'd pick Nenshi. He added that it was insulting that someone with zero experience like Smith was even running.

So it would have been insulting in 2010 when Nenshi and Higgins ran with no experience? Suburbia you used to post things worth reading, this election has turned you into an innuendo spreading Nenshi shill.
