How many indigenous people were polled?

The articles openly says it’s not accurate because it was an online poll.

So the numbers are garbage

I thought it was too until Carney started leaning hard authoritarian.

Eh, online polls, with practically no respondents from one of the most important demographics (only 47 FN in the mix), are pretty lackluster / non-news. Part that seems worthwhile in the article is the note that better surveys should be done. Seeing the article on a FN news site, I'm surprised they didn't attempt to poll their readership to get another data point.

Also, francophones being more positive on this front wouldnt be a huge surprise. The rhetoric / angst for the history is largely aimed at anglo colonials -- and it's such that it targets all english speaking white people, regardless of whether their families were around during the period or not. The french are likely more prone to absolve themselves of guilt, because "we were oppressed by those anglos too!". Kinda like how none of the asian/middle eastern/african immigrants I know, think any of this stuff applies to them / is a dig at them. When non-Caucasian Immigrants see anti-colonial graffiti scrawled all over an alley, they don't generally seem to take that as a demand being made of them.
