    I love these “nearly half” declarations of support the media likes to gin up.

    So…“less than half”, then?

      It’s more about the trend. Last year almost no one thought it would be a good idea. So the implications is “shortly more than half might want to join the EU” or “Canadians are approaching the majority threshold”
