How do you feel about the Conservatives’ decision to eliminate the mandatory long-form census?

To MTB: People who are on Facebook give information FREELY, i.e. no one is threatening them with prosecution. THAT is the difference! And it's a HUGE difference. Only Canadians would go on and on ad nauseam about this nonsense. To all those of you who object to the elimination of the long form, I say go ahead and fill in the voluntary National Household Survey. But respect the views of those who don't share your love of the inane! The 2011 Census in England is going to be the last Census there. As a British person, I say thank goodness. It's absurd to think that someone hired temporarily by Statistics Canada can come to your door to harass you. Tell them to get a life and bugger off!
