I did my census on line, but I resent all the personal questions asked. I don't believe the government needs so much personal information just to count heads in the country. I think the government is too intrusive in questions asked.
Skipping the census doesn’t “send a message.”It erases your community from the numbers.The census isn’t run by politicians. It’s done by Statistics Canada so governments (all levels) know where people actually live and what they need.That data is used for:health care planningschools and childcarehousing and infrastructuretransit and local servicessupports for seniors and familiesWhen people don’t respond, their area can look smaller or less in need than it really is.That means fewer resources, weaker planning, and longer wait times where you live.And then we all hear:“Why are services so bad here?”Because the data says fewer people are there than actually are.You don’t hurt Ottawa by ignoring the census.You shortchange your own town.Fill it out. Be counted.That’s how communities get what they actually need.
I am no tin-foil wearing conspiracist by any means and I found the questions a bit much also. They were very intrusive. Why do they need to know my employer, job title, list of job duties and the weekly hours of work I have? They have my T4, they know where I work. That's all they need to know.
"Porco would not confirm the amount, but said the lease reflected market rates in the Sault." Are there multiple train station leases in SSM? Because I believe there's only one, in which Porco controls. Don't let Porco fool you, all he cares about is the dollar value and nothing else.
I laugh at people claiming this man blew the budget. The Sault is within the top 5 dangerous cities in Canada! He did what he had to do to keep us safe and put people behind bars. Look to the federal government catch and release for the issues. Goodluck in Cornwall. It won’t be easy.
