Hmmm, he says he’s not superior but then says the least educated vote Conservative for their “numbskull policy.”

Na, that’s not elitist and condescending!

And what’s wrong with buck a beer anyway?

First off, government shouldn’t be regulating artificially higher prices on any product.

Secondly, not everyone makes a cushy publicly-funded salary. The Sunshine list, which requires all agencies receiving provincial money to publicly post the names and salaries of those earning at least $100,000 a year, shows that Attaran makes more than $184,000 annually.

Although, I know plenty of people without degrees that make that kind of dough.

What sparked Attaran’s original comment was a data point from a recent poll by Abacus that shows the Conservatives have a lead among those with just a high school diploma and the Liberals lead among people with post-graduate degrees.

Strange thing is when it comes to people with college diplomas or undergraduate degrees, the Conservatives and Liberals are pretty close. The Liberals have the support of 35% of those with an undergrad degree, the Conservatives 31%. Among those with a college diploma, 31% back the Liberals and 33% the Conservatives.

I’d say those people are educated and they are just as likely to vote Conservative as Liberal making Attaran’s analysis deeply flawed.

What really seems to bug Attaran are those “numbskulls” that only have a high school diploma because 37% of those voters back the Conservatives compared to just 25% of the “uneducated” backing the Liberals.
