The 99.6 per cent of the Canadian population mentioned in the article has no access to NFB films. Why can't the CBC & the NFB get themselves coordinated? It should be a mandate of the CBC to show NFB films. How Canadian would those nights be. How Canadian that it hasn't been done already.
Your egregious mis-use of statistics invalidates every conclusion you falsely drew from your pointless exercise.
« I recently conducted an entirely non-scientific survey [...] »
So what you're actually saying is « ignore the rest of my article, it's based on total nonsense. »
« A small sampling, certainly, but the results are telling. »
No, they aren't. Please stop butchering the field of statistics.
Mr. Hays should go to the site listed under my Personal URL (which is not my Personal URL, but the URL of someone FAR cooler) and watch as the Internet laughs at him.
The second Anonymous is right. Not only did you only ask ten people on one street in one city, you asked the question in Quebec, where even the English-speaking residents are just as likely (if not more likely) to know the NFB as the ONF (Office national du film du Canada). That survey tells us nothing.
