The Consilium Poll: Shame of the World and The Collapsing Stage

Last Week's Poll: The Cap of Shame

Inspired by loyal reader Brian M., we invited our readers to select which article of headgear Consilium should adopt as its official Cap O' Shame.  Your verdict was swift and merciless.

Leafs Cap: 18%                  DunceCap: 25%     Rupert Murdoch's Ball Cap: 57%

 So shame on you, News of the World, and thanks to our readers for all for the votes (a classier group of readers than ever graced a tabloid, we might add.)
 

This Week's Poll: The Mystery of the Collapsing Stage

As you've no doubt heard, the main stage at Ottawa's Bluesfest mysteriously collapsed last night during a performance by Cheap Trick. The Fire Marshall and Ministry of Labour are onsite this morning investigating the collapse; but our readers have shown themselves to be a remarkably acute and insightful group of analysts, so we thought we'd ask you. What's your theory? Why did the stage collapse?


1) God doesn't like 70s music
2) Trapped hot air pocket flowing in from Parliament Hill
3) Sabotage by Julian Armour from the Music and Beyond Classical Festival
4) Story invented by Stu Mills of CBC to fill a slow news morning
5) Federal Funding Cuts to Arts and Cultural Events led to bolt shortage

The Consilium Poll - The Only Poll That Matters - is open!
