CTV Edmonton Poll

Local First Nations groups set up blockades at major roadways in the Edmonton-area as part of the growing Idle No More movement. Do you feel this is an effective way to protest Bill C-45?

Yes. They are bringing awareness to the issue through peaceful rallies and demonstrations.		0	(0 %)
No. Blockades aren’t getting the message across and are just making people angry.		0	(0 %)
Protesting is fine but did it have to take place on busy roadways.		0	(0 %)

CTV Edmonton Poll

With Mayor Mandel’s announcement that he won’t run for a fourth term, what legacy do you feel he leaves behind for the City of Edmonton?

Mandel has done great work trying to revitalize our downtown including pushing for the new arena.	116	(10 %)
He’s done great work helping put an end to homelessness.	19	(2 %)
The mayor has made great efforts in connecting our city through LRT expansion.	126	(11 %)
He has done so many wonderful things for this city. It’s hard to pick just one.	487	(41 %)
I never thought much of Mayor Mandel and I can’t wait for his replacement.	447	(37 %)

Total number of votes: 1195

CTV Edmonton Poll

Mayor Stephen Mandel is expected to announce on Tuesday whether he will seek a fourth term as mayor, or retire. Do you think Mandel should run again?

Yes. Mandel has been a great leader and should run for mayor again.		601	(43 %)
No. It’s time for a change. He should step down and let someone else step up.		788	(57 %)

Total number of votes: 1389

CTV Edmonton Poll

A day after the arena vote, Coun. Kerry Diotte became the first to put his hat into the mayoral candidate ring for the upcoming October election. What do you think of the move?

Since he voted against the downtown arena, he has my vote. He cares about what taxpayers are saying.	200	(32 %)
Diotte doesn't have the vision needed to be mayor of our growing city. It’s a bad move on his part.	298	(47 %)
Change can be good. I’m open to hearing what he has to say and what changes he can bring to the city	134	(21 %)

Total number of votes: 632

CTV Edmonton Poll

National chains may have closed their doors but a few local rental companies say they're cashing in with less competition. Do you still rent DVDs?

You bet. Nothing beats that physical copy and a live person for movie recommendations and service.		308	(39 %)
Nope. Digital downloads and streaming videos are the way to go.		486	(61 %)

Total number of votes: 794

CTV Edmonton Poll

Police have spent $42,000 on six new Segways to help officers patrol the city and respond to emergencies quicker. What do you think of police Segways?

It's a waste of money that could have been better spent elsewhere.	590	(39 %)
This is a good investment. Segways can help officers maneuver easily & react faster to emergencies.	211	(14 %)
I'm not against the idea but would be curious to see how effective the Segways actually prove to be.	722	(47 %)

Total number of votes: 1523

CTV Edmonton Poll

Hockey Alberta has announced it is eliminating body checking from pee wee hockey beginning next season. Is this a good decision?

Yes this is a great move. Checking is dangerous and can cause injuries & concussions.		490	(67 %)
No. Checking is a part of the game. Eliminating it takes away from the sport.		240	(33 %)

Total number of votes: 730

CTV Edmonton Poll

Alberta’s first newborn ‘safe havens’ are now open at 2 Edmonton hospitals – giving parents a safe option to leave unwanted babies. What do you think of designated unwanted baby drop-off spots?

These sites are necessary and safer than having babies abandoned elsewhere.		1098	(82 %)
Parents need to be responsible for their actions. This is a step backwards.		239	(18 %)

Total number of votes: 1337

CTV Edmonton Poll

A cyclist was seriously injured after being hit by a truck. Police say it’s a timely reminder to watch out on the roads. What can be done to ensure less bicycle/vehicle injuries and fatalities?

Cyclists need to bike smart: brush up on road safety procedures and always wear a helmet.	381	(41 %)
Drivers need to be less aggressive and remember a vehicle can be a weapon on the road.	257	(28 %)
There should be more designated bike lanes so cyclists and drivers aren’t competing for road space.	293	(31 %)

Total number of votes: 931

CTV Edmonton Poll

What do you think of the province’s announcement of 7 new Capital Region schools including three to be opened in Edmonton by 2016?

This is long overdue. I’m glad the Edmonton area is finally getting new schools.	131	(32 %)
I don’t think this is enough. I worry about continued classroom overcrowding.	164	(40 %)
I don’t think any new schools were needed. There are other areas to spend money on.	115	(28 %)

Total number of votes: 410

CTV Edmonton Poll

The city is moving forward with plans for an urban beach at Louise McKinney Park – but it would not include direct water access to the river. Cost estimates are expected this fall. What do you think?

What’s the point of an urban beach along the river if there’s no river access?	452	(57 %)
Being able to ‘get away’ & get the beach feel right in the city? I love this idea.	97	(12 %)
I need to hear how much it would cost before getting on board.	249	(31 %)

Total number of votes: 798

CTV Edmonton Poll

Donations are starting to trickle in for a grass-roots campaign to install 60,000 LED lights on the High Level Bridge. Do you want to ‘Light the Bridge?’

Yes. It would make our landmark bridge even more iconic.	237	(39 %)
No. I think we should be fundraising for more humanitarian causes or to a deserving charity.	230	(38 %)
Maybe. If it can be fundraised from the ground up, great, but what about future operating costs?	143	(23 %)

Total number of votes: 610

The design for the new Walterdale Bridge may need to be scaled back, after a report shows the $135.5M project needs an additional $19.5M. What should be done?

Scale it back. There’s no reason why this bridge needs to be so costly.		728	(71 %)
Take the money from a different project. If we’re doing a new bridge, let’s make it iconic.		304	(29 %)

Total number of votes: 1032

CTV Edmonton Poll

A clause in the downtown arena master agreement says the iconic Wayne Gretzky statue currently outside Rexall Place will be moved to the new arena. Do you think the statue should stay or go?

The statue needs to stay with the team. If the Oilers move to the new arena, it should too.	396	(30 %)
The statue needs to stay where it is. It should stay where Gretzky played & his legacy began.	313	(23 %)
There are bigger issues to worry about, like where the missing $100 million is going to come from.	624	(47 %)

Total number of votes: 1333

CTV Edmonton Poll

Putrella, the world’s stinkiest flower, is blooming at the Muttart Conservatory. The city says it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness & smell the putrid flower. Will you check out Putrella?

Yes. It’s a rare opportunity that Edmontonians shouldn’t miss!		219	(39 %)
No. I have no interest in seeing or smelling a stinky flower.		349	(61 %)

Total number of votes: 568

CTV Edmonton Poll

The Alberta College of Pharmacists is moving forward with a plan to ban rewards/incentive programs in pharmacies, over concerns for patient health. What do you think of the decision?

It’s the right thing to do. Pharmacists shouldn’t be chosen based on the best deal/incentive.	279	(22 %)
It’s ridiculous. Incentives shouldn’t be taken away just because a few people abuse the system.	577	(46 %)
I don’t base my pharmacy needs around reward programs so the decision doesn’t affect me.	407	(32 %)

Total number of votes: 1263

CTV Edmonton Poll

Oilers’ president Kevin Lowe is apologizing after getting into hot water for saying there were two types of Oiler fans: those who buy tickets & those who don’t. What do you think of the apology?

Too little, too late! We know how he truly feels. Fans are insulted.		0	(0 %)
He’s smart to address those comments and apologize before the situation got too out of hand.		0	(0 %)
I would be more inclined to buy tickets if the Oilers won more games.		0	(0 %)

Total number of votes: 0

CTV Edmonton Poll

The Oilers announced Monday they have fired Steve Tambellini and former coach Craig MacTavish is taking over as general manager. What do you think of the move?

This is a great move. Tambellini wasn't doing his job. Hopefully MacTavish brings the team around.		0	(0 %)
I believe Tambellini needed to go but I don't know if MacTavish is the best replacement.		0	(0 %)
I don't think Tambellini was the problem. He should not have been let go.		0	(0 %)

The biggest Lotto 6/49 jackpot in Canadian history - worth $55 million - is up for grabs this Saturday. Are you getting a ticket?

Yes. Albertans have been so lucky with this lottery in the past, I hope I win!		0	(0 %)
No. Lotteries are pointless. The odds of winning are next to nothing, why bother?		0	(0 %)

The city won’t back down on demands for the owner of Maisie’s Magical Christmas House to scale back the display over safety concerns. The owner says he’s now scrapping the display. What do you think?

The city should lighten up on some demands. Maisie’s Magical Christmas House is a holiday staple!	1	(0 %)
The owner should compromise with the city since the demands are to ensure everyone’s safety.	334	(58 %)
I have never been to Maisie’s Magical Christmas House and don’t care if the display is scrapped.	240	(42 %)
