It was a jam packed workshop and council meeting in New Westminster on July 8th. There is so much to unpack, that's why we've broken this podcast into two parts.Special guest Coun. Minhas is in studio with us and he provides his personal perspective on what transpired and why.A number of interesting topics came up for discussion including raising the level of authority for the city manager for sole source contracts from $150K to $500K. We also discuss the injection of up to $16M to help support the ageing Massey Theatre with a new HVAC system and landscaping.To poll, or not to poll. That was the question that got posed regarding whether to invest some tax dollars with Ipsos to survey up to 10,000 residents regarding what they'd like to see in the 2025 budget. Why did this stir up a debate and a split vote?What would a council workshop be without another discussion about the City's public toilet strategy. City staff came to council to get clarity on exactly what direction they should go when it comes to installing more $650K stand alone public toilets. But yes, work to install more signage around town directing people to existing public toilets is now underway.Should a new position at city hall automatically be filled by increasing taxes or should we be looking at efficiencies first? You can just imagine how that discussion wrapped up. Or can you? You might be in for a pleasant surprise.Council also debated a motion to refer a major report regarding some significant (and costly) capital improvements to the city as a result of a consultant's study on bus reliability in our city. The referral would have been to the September 9th council meeting to allow the public more than a week to provide Council with their feedback. You won't be surprised to learn how that vote turned out. Spoiler alert, you won't be pleasantly surprised.In Part 2 of this podcast, we'll continue to cover off a number of additional items that came up for debate at the 'marathon mid-summer meeting' on July 8th.This podcast is available for download on all major platforms.

The podcast originally appeared on 'Uncovering Politics' from UCL's Department of Political Science. In the run up to the UK General Election we have a special episode on opinion polls. Opinion polling is a staple of modern elections, captivating political enthusiasts with fluctuating numbers but also sparking controversy. Polls are sometimes criticized for inaccuracies, notably in the Brexit referendum and the 2016 US presidential election. Polling methods, including sampling and voter prediction, are hotly debated. The emergence of MRP polls, which accurately estimated results in the 2017 UK election, has added to the intrigue, despite producing widely varying predictions for the outcome of the current UK election.

Opinion polls on both sides of the Atlantic tell fascinating stories. Sinn Fein has lost momentum. Have they peaked too soon? Rishi Sunak's Tories are now polling at lower levels that the nadir of Liz Truss' government. That really is some going. Trump breaks wind audibly in court, hears stories about his sexual peccadillos and goes up in the polls.It is said that SF are suffering because 'they have let their electorate down because of immigration'. Right wing parties everywhere, including Ireland, are on the rise because of the immigration issue. Yet right wing governments in power in the UK and Italy show how hard - impossible even - 'solving' immigration is. Is it really true that immigrants take jobs? Spoiler alert: no.

Election anxiety: Public concerns grow over opinion polls and split vote by Radio Islam

ActionSA says it will be taking action against South Africa's unregulated polling industry and those in the media who have become enablers of political disinformation under the guise of legitimate polling. The party cites an article published on the 10th of March, it says 3 media outlets published a poll without any reference to the origin of the poll.  Action SA believes that polls in South Africa have no regulation and are open to abuse with the aim to influence electoral trends.  ActionSA says it will now begin the long road to fight for regulation of this industry, and will not stand back and allow the shadowy figures in the polling industry to operate with impunity. To discuss this  Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Andre Francois Coetzee, Actions SA Chief Strategist and Mari Harris, Ipsos sub-Saharan Africa Knowledge Director 

There's so much discourse about polling and it seems like there's a poll for nearly every political issue. At the same time, polls often don't successfully help us to predict the future, including election outcomes. What contributes to the mismatch between what we expect of them and what they actually deliver? Nate Cohn is the chief political analyst at the New York Times where he created the Times/Siena poll. Cohn points out that, among many things, polling plays a “central role in the way we understand the way campaigns ought to behave.” He joins WITHpod to discuss the complexities of polling, survey methodology, systematic biases and more.

The 966 hosts kick off the new year after a refreshing holiday break following a successful year for the podcast in which the growth of the audience more than doubled across all platforms, and in some cases, grew significantly more than that! The team thanks all of its listeners and viewers for tuning in each week.First, the hosts discuss Richard's One Big Thing, the Dakar Rally, which is set to take place again this year across Saudi Arabia. The race has moved to the Kingdom and began January 5th, running until January 19th, and will pass Riyadh on January 13-14. Lucien will attend the festivities and race there in person. Richard gave a run-down of the race's challenges, vehicle classifications, and importance of Saudi Arabia as a host. According to the Dakar Rally's official site, the race's origins began in 1977, when Thierry Sabine got lost on his motorbike in the Libyan desert during the Abidjan-Nice Rally. Saved from the sands in extremis, he returned to France still in thrall to this landscape and promising himself he would share his fascination with as many people as possible. He proceeded to come up with a route starting in Europe, continuing to Algiers and crossing Agadez before eventually finishing at Dakar. The founder coined a motto for his inspiration: "A challenge for those who go. A dream for those who stay behind."Next, the hosts discuss Lucien's One Big Thing, the PGA-LIV merger and the future of golf which hangs in the balance as a deadline for an agreement announced in 2023 between PIF and PGA passed with no concrete deal, other than to keep discussions going. The delay creates uncertainty for both pros and fans as the PGA season kicks off in Hawaii. Just weeks after top golfer John Rahm joined the LIV golf tour, 4-time champion Rory McIlroy walked back criticism of LIV players. "I think at this point, I was maybe a little judgmental of the guys who went to LIV golf at the start, and I think it was a bit of a mistake on my part because I now realise that not everyone is in my position or in Tiger Wood's position," the former world number one told the Stick to Football podcast. "We all turn professional to making a living playing the sports that we do, and I think that's what I realised over the last two years. I can't judge people for making that decision."Lucien discusses the latest with the merger and notes a reason why many Saudis don't care as much about it compared to the coverage it receives. The hosts conclude as always with Yallah! 6 top storylines from Saudi Arabia this week...-U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken will travel to the Middle East region this week to “discuss urgent mechanisms to stem violence, calm rhetoric, and reduce regional tensions,” according to a press release from the State Department.-A recent study by Gallup International, in collaboration with the Saudi Center for Opinion Polls, has revealed the high level of optimism among Saudi citizens as they look forward to the year 2024.-Saudi state TV said on Tuesday that the Kingdom had officially begun its membership of the BRICS bloc. Saudi Arabia's foreign minister had said in August that the Kingdom would study the details before the proposed January 1 joining date and take “the appropriate decision.” Prince Faisal bin Frahan had said BRICS was “a beneficial and important channel” to strengthen economic cooperation.-Saudi capital Riyadh has emerged as a new regional hub for over 200 international companies, aligning with an upcoming Saudi government policy. Effective January 1, 2024, the policy requires international firms to establish their regional headquarters in the Kingdom to be eligible for government contracts.-Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund spent more than any other last year after splashing out $31.5bn (£24.7bn) on investments ranging from a stake in Heathrow to ownership of a US gaming company. The Kingdom's Public Investment Fund (PIF) has topped an annual ranking of sovereign investment fund spending, compiled by consultancy Global SWF, for the first time.Investment by PIF accounted for just over a quarter of the $123.8bn (£97.2bn) spent in total-The ongoing ‘Riyadh Season', featuring a series of entertainment, fashion, technology and gaming events, attracted a whopping 12 million visitors in the last 60 days, the organizers said. The popular event, which opened in October 2023, targeted 12 million visitor participation during the entire event period, but achieved the target in the middle of the season.

Managing Editor of the Daily Dispatch Newspaper and renowned Ghanaian pollster, Ben Ephson has said that though there is nothing wrong with pollsters conducting opinion polls on the 2024 elections, the timing may be too early at this time.

Summary In today's Ukraine War Brief, Yewleea talks about opinion polls, pogroms, and traitors to Ukraine. A pogrom is an organized massacre of a particular ethnic group, in particular, that of Jewish people in russia or eastern Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, per the Oxford Dictionary. The literal translation from the russian is "to wreak havoc or demolish violently." Pogroms originated in the deeply anti-semitic russian empire. According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the first pogrom occurred in Odesa in 1821. Looking for merch?

What can opinion polls really tell us?

Bruce's take on the by election outcome versus the reality of national opinion.  Also should the first ministers sit down on camera and do battle on health care?  And farewell to Jim Carr.

The figures suggest that he will lose next month's election to his left-wing rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Also: The UN Security Council has called for increased support for Somalis threatened by famine. And we meet the woman who can detect disease using her sense of smell.

In this episode of Life Matters, Commissioner Johnston returns to the subject of public opinion polls and Americans' real attitudes regarding the legalization of human abortion. Johnston reminds us that we must focus on what the right to life debate is.  It is not about emotions, or feelings, how much we like babies, or our personal religious upbringing.  Very specifically, it is a legal question, as all questions of “rights” actually are.  It is essential to understand that this debate of the last 50 years regarding the legality of abortion and the impact of the Roe versus Wade decision, is a matter of legal judgment.  And therefore, public opinion must be viewed as a question of what legal protections ought to be offered to which human beings (babies in the womb), at which times, and under which specific legal conditions. This very particular and incisive understanding of the debate is required now.  This is required for each and every pro-life individual, and specifically in each and every state, because the Dobbs decision has returned the authority of each and every state and its legislatures to determine the laws of that particular jurisdiction, that particular state. As demonstrated in the previous program on this subject: 287: Public Opinion Polls, the nature of the question and the language used by the questioner will often determine the answer given by the respondent.  Because of this, many news outlets which seek to mold public opinion rather than inform, will use misleading and incomplete language. This is done in order to have the respondent come to a conclusion which the news outlet desires to see in all Americans.  When it comes to the abortion question and specific terms and references to the law, specific terms are often used.  Words such as ‘choice,' ‘freedom to choose', ‘reproductive rights', and even ‘Roe v. Wade', specifically because Roe v. Wade has rarely been accurately described and explained to the public.  These vague generalities are by no means capable of determining an American individual's actual sentiments regarding appropriate abortion law. There are however many polls which do respect the specific details of an issue: When is the abortion done? At what gestation is that child?  For what reason is that child's life being ended? These are very important determinative legal issues that the law applies to every legally questioned action.  Again the issue of the right to life is, at its heart, a legal question. California is often considered one of the most progressive and “pro-choice“ states in the nation. But the old LA Times/California pool which was changed in the 1990s, had indeed asked detailed specific questions after its first generic pro-choice or pro-life question. For some reason that pool no longer exists in that iteration. The most popular league reporting on California polls is taken from the Pew Charitable Trust which was discussed in depth in the previous program. A recent Rasmussen poll once again asked average California voters specific details of abortion law, and specific questions regarding what type of abortion law these Californians felt to be appropriate. This Rasmussen poll and its specific questions can be viewed here: https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/partner_surveys/most_california_voters_support_limits_on_abortion   The popular, dominant media culture does not like these polling results. And rarely if ever will make such results a dominant aspect of their reportage.

The question is: Will that phrase merely be a slogan or will it indeed take on the force of law? That legal question is the real issue of the Right To Life.
