I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

Yeah, but sounds like a waste of time. They should give our like $5 gift certificates to Starbucks. I'd do it then.GordonH wrote:it’s all done online.

"In accordance with the Statistics Act, all residents of Canada are legally required to complete the census questionnaire. Statistics Canada is bound by law to protect the confidentiality of the information respondents provide in the census."
I couldn't believe the stupidity of the online census.
After answering that my one and only language was English it continued to ask questions about what else I spoke. Pretty dumb!
My Wife asked me if I knew what her favorite flower was?
Apparently "Robin Hood All Purpose" was the wrong answer!

Re: Canada Census
Haven't got one yet but when I do I'm gonna use it as fire starter in my fire pit!
That's kinda the same as filling it out, right?

Re: Canada Census
I completed the online census and can’t imagine who is going to find the answers to the questions helpful in anyway.
Biggest waste of my time and our tax dollars.

Re: Canada Census
I was lucky and got the short form. The long form is over 70 questions long and IMO, there' are some questionable questions. I helped a couple of friends with their long form and it was embarassing to ask them certain questions.

Thank Justin Trudeau for that. The long form was turfed for good reason by intelligent people, but Justin brought it back so he could peek into your bedrooms.TimmyE wrote:I was lucky and got the short form.

Re: Canada Census
I think some of the questions they ask are debatable but they do base things like Health Care spending on them.
It's to everyone's benefit to take 5-15 mins and fill out the Census.

Re: Canada Census
I like how people are super paranoid about govt spying on them through cell phones/vaccines/cameras but when the govt is asking what's your name/where do you live/how much money you make/what do you spend on adult toys everybody rushes in to fill it out.

Be thankful if your roomy didn’t get the long form OT.
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

Re: Canada Census
Stats and I never got along. I never understood the reasoning of some of the odd questions they ask, but I always fill mine in. Getting an accurate snapshot of Canada is never a bad thing IMO.
