today's online poll

Submitted to metronews.ca editor earlier today:

In addition to the poll whether Canada should pull its troops out of Afghanistan or not, you should poll your readers whether Parliament should have a vote so our elected representatives can decide what's in this country's best interests. After all, aren't they the ones we entrusted (and pay a lot of money to) to make these decisions for us?
While I commend you for raising social awareness on this contentious issue, offering people the chance to express their opinions in such a convient pill-popping manner (outside of the system) is damaging to our democracy.
