Wipe that smirk off your face, Wells. The rest of Canada is clearly deeply concerned by French French and Algonquin Park envy.

I know Ekos has been in the field lately too. I know because they robo-called me on my cell phone, with a short questionnaire suggesting, though this is mostly a hunch, a large sample. No idea who the media partner for that one is. We’ll know soon.
