Lucky enough to get the short form, didn't even make it through one song on the playlist before finishing.

The government already knows all that stuff anyway.

People shouldn't be so flippant about the census. Its used to determine several things including tax spending, transfer payments and future planning for things like health care and labour markets. It provides a snapshot of the population and demographics across the country. It helps decide, for example, schools based on areas with a high density of young families... or agriculture spending in areas high a high population of people in farming.. etc.

If you're not counted then your needs might be overlooked. Its not a joke.

It seems like the only thing they care about in this census is what gender I identify as.

And what gender you were when you were born.

I put my 2 year old down as transgender. Ask stupid questions, you get stupid answers...

Note: I did not do that, but I guarantee that some people will do this because they're tired of the woke BS.

Of course that number is out of service - it's not the correct number. The number shown in the article is 1-877-885-2021 and when/if you call it, you'll get the "welcome to the questionnaire assistance line" message.

Just thought I'd check with the others.

it took me maybe 3 minutes. There is a long form that asks a lot of questions. I used to get that every time. Just luck of the draw.
It is not a big deal. You will spend more time typing in a reply to this message than it takes to fill out the forms.

I actually forwarded this to ctv news about these questions being no ones business but the roommates. See if they get back to me.

You just got the long form. Few get that. What were the questions. I have had the long form a few times. In a row. The short form is a piece of cake.

No, sorry. It is your argument that Stats Can is letting hackers in. It is not up to me to prove it. Not how it works. You make a statement and provide proof then I will show you how you are wrong. Yet again.

CRA has had two attacks that resulted in some passwords being stolen. Those accounts were rapidly closed. That is not statsCan.
Stats Canada has had a couple of instances where data was released early. One case was a minute early.

So, Google is your friend? Have your friend show us where hackers actually got into StatsCan.
I await your answer but I sure as hell am not holding my breath.

you continually make these wild accusations and are not able to back them up. So, Here is your big chance.
