VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – How many people believe in conspiracy theories?
Angus Reid just polled people about conspiracy theories. Pollster Mario Canseco says one in three people believe in them.
“It’s the idea of a new world order. There’s a group that is secretly running the world and they want to establish a global government.”
One in five Americans believe tiny little cameras and microphones have been built into TVs as a way to spy.
Conseco says a third believe in a 911 cover-up and one in ten think the moon landings were faked. “There’s always this idea, and it’s something that we see more in the United States than in Canada or in the UK, whenever we’ve done something like this. There’s always the idea that you know more than what they’re telling you.”
And 28 per cent of people think global warming was invented for financial or ideological reasons.
Don’t forget the aliens.

Many conspiracy theories are spin control by some government agency when classified information is leaked. It’s well known that the best place to hide something is in plain sight.
@ steve,all that pot smoking has made you paranoid
Ohh, and if you think we go to war with Afghanistan, Mali and Syria to promote democracy, you should really find out how much civilian contractors make over there. And let me tell you, its not about the people, its about the money. I was there.
conspiracy theories are for the uneducated trailer park residents,those of you who believe the government is out to get you should stop drinking n quit smoking pot.its a shame that a respected radio station like CKNW airs coast to coast am
Really? Andrew, education helps open individuals up to question things. Why does someone have to be uneducated to question things? That’s just a stupid comment
