Not all French Canadians are like that. Acadians don't hate Anglos and most are bilingual, at least in my experience.
An online form is capable of auto fill. If you tick “yes” to the transgender question, the ”mental illness“ question should auto fill to “yes”.
I think all that should be required is names, number of people in households, and everything else should be voluntary. The mandate to have a Census isn't an invitation for a far-reaching inquisition into your personal life. As for that gender question the answer is fuck off, none of your business.
Yes, but it just wouldn't be the Commonwealth Anglos without some good ol' government overreach.
In Australia the anonymity of the information (in 2006 the law was changed to allow names and addresses to stay connected to the data) has undermined confidence. Plus our current government completely fucked the last online census and every other digital roll out since. Previously census identifying information was held in paper records for 100 years. Now the census has become a data mining fact checking tool of an invasive untrustworthy government. I pride myself on having avoided the census for nearly 30 years. It’s getting harder. As a snapshot it’s useful but as a policing tool it’s too available to be misused. Most if not all the data can be collated by other means, but governments are lazy.
there's no reason it should be dead and it is growing in the polls. this is the new reform party but better since it might get bloc voters and form a majority government. If you couldn't tell I am optimist
I've had this as my FB gender ID for years....not a peep from FB
That's a reasonable answer. All that is easy to fill out but stuff like "labour market activity" is really annoying and cumbersome to fill out. Basically have to find your tax forms and other employment crap or guesstimate and risk being investigated for false info. Don't know how often they do that but they can.
I answered seriously other than saying my ethnicity is Gaulish.
I agree, I'm not against the census because the statistical info can be really valuable but mental healthcare in Canada is horrible so I feel including it in the census was just virtue signal by the government to pretend they're doing anything about mental health.

They ask you all these disability and health related questions yet don't consider some people have dyscaluclia and other math problems and all the complex labour related stuff will not be easy for them.
You also answer: religion, race AND ethnicity. It has like 4 different terms for atheist except the actual term atheist. My dad was getting annoyed asking these questions and said just say N/A but they literally took that away. So you can only say none but if you choose that and it doesn't really apply that's false info and illegal.
Here's a list of all the recognized ethnicities plus you can write in your own so I wrote in an Iron Age one because autism:
Some listed options: Yazidi, Rohingya, United Empire Loyalist, Zoroastrian, Buddhist, Coptic, Huguenot, Jewish etc. why are these considered an ethnic group and not a religion or historical group???

A lot of places have public counseling options but they are usually shitty therapists and you can be referred to a
I imagine most people. I keep hearing grifters talking about what needs to be done as if any policy changes made now are going to resurrect those kids then. Instead everything they sell seems to be more power or money for them. Funny, that.
