66 per cent of respondents want Canada to remain an independent nation

Huh. The 33% implied in the text is weirdly double the 17% reported. Who are the delusional 16% who want to take over the country, but without using a word they can't pronounce or define?

There's a graphic in the article with a breakdown, 17% are "Not sure"

While that's normal for surveys like this, it's also annoying. They're unsure about if they want a war with their next door neighbour?

No, they're not "not sure", they're just cowards unwilling to voice their opinion because they know it's morally objectionable.

It's possible many of that 17% are 'not sure' because they failed to understand the question and couldn't be bothered to read it twice. They are Americans.

Some people are just too alienated from things and when asked about their opinion, they're like 'errr I don't know, not sure', and that's usually not because they understand the matter but are unsure of it, but because they don't understand the matter at all

Usually that also includes "didn't respond"/DR/NR. I would assume this was a multi question survey and that 17% includes at least some DR/NR.
