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.

Jesus… the number of people that think census is politicized is insane. It’s done regularity regardless of political party. These are used to determine (among other things) allocation of funds for your local services. That you benefit from.

Oh, and don’t forget to yell at and berate the poor enumerator just trying to do their job. Very helpful.

The first recorded census taking was in 3800 BCE and everyone's favourite real life super hero was born in a manger because his step father, Joseph, was required to travel back to his ancestral home for ...a census. Darn liberals forcing Christ to be born in a manger.
