48% Support rectifying 64, 52% against
It is the poll result reported by Omni News a moment ago.
Why?
Chinese in Canada don't really care about 64. Forgetful? Maybe.
Sad. Isn't it?
民愤们总要把六四平反当成一个攻击的机会,要血债血偿,19年一成不变,自然让用自己头脑反思的人们厌恶。

Nineteen years later Wang Dan still winces at the thought of it -- how Chinese authorities brutally stomped out dissent at Tiananmen Square.
The former student leader was at the Chinese consulate in Toronto yesterday to remember the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing.
Wang saw a classmate shot dead from behind by an angry soldier on June 4, 1989 -- one of hundreds of protesters killed in the violent crackdown on a demonstration that had lasted several weeks.
Thousands had packed the square, defying communist rulers in their bid to bring democratic reforms to China.
Despite the peaceful nature of the sit-in, the Chinese government eventually sent in soldiers and tanks to end it.
'BEGAN OPENING FIRE'
"When the tanks showed up, many of us ran several street blocks away," Wang recalled. "But soldiers just began opening fire. Many people -- students, citizens -- died."
For his role as a leader in the protests, Wang was jailed for seven years and then exiled to the United States.
Asked if he would lead the march again, knowing he could face prison in the future, his reply was simple: "Absolutely."
Wang was joined yesterday by almost 200 members of the local Chinese community in a rally to commemorate the massacre's anniversary.
They carried signs reading "We will never forget" and "Grant us civil rights" through the University of Toronto to a candlelit vigil for those killed that weekend in 1989.
"We are here to urge the Chinese government to improve human rights in China," said Dick Chan, found ing president of Toronto's Association for Democracy in China.
"They can do that by admitting their responsibilities in the Tiananmen massacre."
Many at the protest feel this summer's Olympics in Beijing will give China's government an opportunity to demonstrate a will to change.
"Every country will be watching," said Vicky Lee, who moved here from Hong Kong three years ago. "China needs democracy."
