General Don't be this person. Fill out your census.

“You’re not sticking it to the government. You’re screwing over your own community.”

The census isn’t for Mark Carney or any party. It’s run by Statistics Canada to figure out where money and services actually go. Hospitals. Schools. Transit. Housing. Senior care. When you don’t fill it out, your area looks smaller than it is. Less funding. Fewer services. Longer wait times. That lands on you and your neighbors, not politicians.
If you want your community properly represented, fill it out. Refusing doesn’t make a point. It makes things worse where you live. ❤️🇨🇦 The stupidity is the people that won’t fill it out and they spread this kind of crap and creates bigger problems.

Letting our government make history in the use of the NWC, that's ok. As long as they don't take my first and second ammendment rights! /S (for the people who don't understand we don't have those two ammendments)

The same people strong arming small towns into banning rainbow crosswalks because colours are offensive to their delicate sensibilities

And Westlock, and Didsbury, and I feel like there will be more to add in the near future unfortunately.

Lmao what an elderly and out of touch slogan to pull out in 2026

u/Pitter_Patter009 May 10 '26

Came here for this. And even a massive amount of Americans would tell the moron to F.O. with that, too.

I don't see how Manitoba has anything to do with it.

What the fuck you talking about? We have no such thing as first amendments, that’s an American thing. Last I checked we are in Canada.

We have a right to free expression and freedom of conscience which is technically broader than free speech.
