In the last Citizen online poll we asked "Do you think Dr. Bonnie Henry should make face masks mandatory in all public spaces?"

The most popular answer was "Yes, because of the rising number of cases in the province," with 50 per cent and 1,070 votes. Another positive came in second with 22 per cent and 479 votes that said "Yes, because we're all in this together."

Trailing was "No, because it's an infringement on my individual rights," with 16 per cent and 353 votes and "No, because the number of cases in the Northern Health region is under control," with 11 per cent and 244 votes.

There was a total of 2,146 votes. Remember this is not a scientific poll.

The next question readers can answer online is "How much money are you planning to spend on Christmas gifts this year?

The poll can be found near the topr right on the main page of our website (scroll down past the stories and features for mobile readers).
