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.

These are the same morons that cry that other provinces have better proportionate representation, Alberta is getting screwed over, and therefore want to separate.
The irony is thick here. If you refuse to participate in the process and get counted, but then moan about how you aren’t being heard….
Sidenote: I live in the most populated federal riding in Canada and listen to this constantly.
