Are you going to fill out your Census?

Never got one in the mail. Guess I'll have to do online.

We live in one of the best countries in the world. If the gov't uses the census as a tool to help move forward, why the hell would anyone not want to fill it out?

If you're so paranoid about things, run for office and clean things up.
I think you'd be unpleasantly surprised at how difficult it is to run a huge organization.
It's impossible to please everyone, so some tough decisions have to be made.
This applies to every level of gov't as well as large companies.

End of rant.

That! +1

only difficulty with the census is if you are having an over-night with an escort. Challenging to tick the right box in the relationship section... Oh, wait!... "Other".

some browsers autofill in data fields if the html field name was used before. Perhaps you experienced that.

lmao!

I told them not to make any info about me available after 92 years, and if they did, I would sue their ass.

FAST

Not even the JFK Assassination records are sealed for that long!

I'd wait for them to contact you. Usually, they mail out to all addresses to the attention of the owner or occupant. Maybe yours got lost in the mail, or somebody took it. In either case, those lovely elderly ladies will come and knock on your door.

If that's the case, then the government depts should work together and share the info. Stop wasting people's time asking for the same info over and over again. There are so many instances where the government gets your data:

- When you're born (birth certificate and records taken at the hospital)
- Enrolling in school
- Anything to do with taxes and employment
- Health cards, OHIP
- Passports
- Driver's license
- The cops getting your info if you get arrested, get into a car accident etc...
- Any info the gov gets when you buy a property

Almost all of the info on the census can be taken from any of the above. The census already pre-bakes info into it when you log in, as it states your name and address on page one. Then you go through the motions of inputting your age, ethnicity etc.... There's only a small number of questions that aren't documented.

If Stats Can is some kind of independent record keeping dept than scrap that status and let them accumulate info like any other dept.

Not exactly the same use of info or type of info (the census is mostly for residents of specific locations), plus they need to re-confirm after several years to ensure things are in order if not in sync.

My neighbours on either side received theirs so not sure why I didn't get one. Can't do online without an access code that is on the form. Leave it to the gov't to make things harder to accomplish

Dude, I was quoting the census RE: 92 years, I was making a joke about the idiot government asking my approval.
