The CHEK Point opinion poll Tuesday reveals 85 per cent of those who took part do not support protesters at the B.C. Legislature.
As of 6:30 p.m., 1,520 people had answered yes or no to whether they supported the demonstrators or not. A total of 1,287 did not while 233 did.
The poll did cause technical difficulties on the CHEK site and was closed after 6:30 p.m.
Protesters opposed to the Coastal GasLink pipeline in northern B.C. disrupted events at the legislature ahead of the government’s throne speech.
Hundreds of protesters blocked entrances to the building, chanting “Shame” as politicians tried to enter the building with help from security.
Protesters say they plan to remain there until the province agrees to pressure the RCMP and Coastal GasLink to leave Wet’suwet’en traditional territories in northern B.C.
The CHEK Point question Tuesday asked “Do you support the protesters at the BC Legislature.”
