The parent company of Winnipeg spa Thermea has pulled a guest experience survey that asked what one customer says were “highly inappropriate” questions, including one asking if immigration is a threat to “the purity of the country.”
“If you’re developing and disseminating a survey that is about political climate or cultural beliefs, there may be a place for questions that are seeking diverse opinions,” Thermea customer Amelia LaTouche told CBC News on Saturday, after responding to the emailed survey.
“But this was a survey about a spa, and this series of questions are highly inappropriate.”
LaTouche shared a screenshot of some with CBC, including one that asked for a level of agreement on the statement, “Society would be better off with more government involvement” and another that read, “Overall, there is too much immigration. It threatens the purity of the country.”
