What is the opinion of the majority of Canadians regarding the government's decision to settle the lawsuit and not fight the case?
If you actually read the poll question, it states that "the majority of Canadians say the government made the wrong decision in SETTLING the lawsuit" and "should have fought the case". They're not necessarily against the settlement but rather thought that it should have gone to the SCC to be settled. There are lies, damn lies, statistics and worst of all polls. It seems you have to actually read the question to understand the poll.
