Here is a survey presented on BNN today.

Pretty low results with men only scoring 35%.

Thanks for posting. Typically poor results. Any idea if there was a sponsor to the study? I suspect poor understanding will result in poor preparation. Or maybe it's the other way around?

I think it was a bit of a puff piece because no references were supplied and no attempt to relate it to Canada.
