My youngest kid works for StatCan.
There are some ignorant people who don't know why we do a census.
This is the perfect summary:
This isn’t the self-own you think it is.

Sometimes the ignorance overwhelms me. I recall using raw census data in a university research essay.

Well said that man! YAM xx
Many years ago, maybe way back in the 1950's or late 1940's, my Dad delivered the census papers, maybe after milking the cows, as he would be the person responsible for a rural area. Many miles to drive. Then to go back again to collect. The video is so correct.
...and here they want to count some and not others!
It's so disappointing to me to learn how actually stupid so many people are. I still can hardly believe it. Is it something in the water? -Kate
If it wasn't for the census, my genealogy work would have hit a wall.
Is this the orange miasma creeping up here? I do not recall protests at previous censi. (Yeah, I took Latin.)
