The CBC's facebook faceplant experiment

I love it when things don't always turn out how the Mother Corp intended. (Kudos to Dave Gilbert whose wish "abolish abortion" was the most popular amongst Canadians)

Oh to be a fly on the wall during that meeting.

Hey spinks, it's the CBC, the flies are in the soup. ;-)

The poll was hijacked by a right wing conspiracy.

Yeah, unlike the left wing conspiracy at #2. :) I read that a few times but I don't think its the truth at all. Everyone had equal access to the same technology and CBC even sent out a sponsored link about a week and a half before the end probably thinking Facebook was filled with more abortion supporters than not. Oops it still didn't work.

Here's the thing. This shows that its still an issue and is still worth a discussion. We're one of the only countries in the world with zero restrictions on abortion. Want to abort the child one second before birth? Go for it. There is nothing legally stopping you. Polls show that is a concern for the majority of Canadians and using the tactic of calling anyone who raises questions as part of a right wing conspiracy is intellectually dishonest. There's some valid questions morally and socially which should be asked.
