Concerns are being raised over a poll which reveals large numbers of Canadians believe in \u201cdangerous conspiracy theories,\u201d such as the idea that global events are engineered by powerful cabals who are \u201cworking in secret against us.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The nationwide survey of 1500 adults, conducted by Abacus Data, illustrates how trust in mainstream sources of information and government institutions has plummeted.<\/p>\n And apparently, this is a terribly frightful thing.<\/p>\n \u201cCanadians who want to believe that Canadian society is relatively unaffected by conspiracy thinking will find little comfort in these results.
