if there are any other 2016 census threads please delete this one.
well i just got the 2016 canadian census and was wondering if anyone else , from the u.s or else where also got theirs?
in canada it says on the census envelope '' complete the census - it's the law. '' , does it say this on other country's census too?
to me this shows just how totalitarianism has infiltrated the Canadian government, if they say this is the law and you must fallow it where does it
end? it was the law to obey Hitler too, but that doesn't make it right.
Got it. Just the short form this time. Have to get around to it soon.
The only reason I haven't done it yet is just laziness on my part.
If they don't get an idea of who is where, and how many, they can't tell what resources are needed in specific areas. Hospitals, schools, doctors,
teachers, government offices, etc.
It's always been law to fill it out, that's not new.
I should add I'm filling it out this time. The only reason I didn't last time is because it got lost. And as you said it's about knowing where
resources need to be utilized effectively.
A few years ago I was late turning mine in. One day someone knocked on my door and I thought it was the Jehovah Witnesses again but it was the people
from the census dept. or hired outsourced people
I had someone come to the door twice on weekend and a threatening phone call the last time they wanted us to fill out the census under the Harper
regime.....I ended up filling it out.....sorta. Found one on the door this am.........Dog must have been sleeping. People are pretty brave seeing no
tresspassing and beware of dog signs at the end of the drive.....hmmmmm
If they are being sent out in the mail starting this week, (some have already received them and filled them out)...then why are people knocking on
doors already to fill them out? Isn't that something they do after they have given everyone ample time to do it voluntarily? Seems pushy from the
get-go. I checked my mail yesterday and it's not there yet, but I have quite happily added the following phrase to the "NO SOLICITING, NO
EXCEPTIONS" sign on my front door... "YES, we have filled out our CENSUS form!". Due to reading many comments online of citizens already
being harassed by census takers... I'm beating the buggers to the punch.
I begrudgingly filled out the last one, but I delayed it as long as possible and it was filled with eraser marks, coffee rings, and other assorted
food stains. A slight of civil disobedience on my part. Time will tell what this one brings, and how I choose to have fun with it.
