This list was initially compiled by W. T. Stanbury (wstanbury@prodigy.net.mx) and Armine Yalnizyan, Canadian Centre for Policy Analysis and now it expanded as a result of numerous contributors from individuals across the country. I have also merged information from the list of lists above. I get articles from web crawls, #census #statcan #cdnpoli, blogs and what people send.

    Now let’s just hope that the opposition can capitalize on this… Somehow I am not optimistic and still worry that we’ll end up with a Harper majority by 2011.

    Time for Minister Clement to feel the love…

    Thankfully, there’s still more than one way to be counted in this country. If you’re opposed to the Harper government’s move to abolish the mandatory long form census, it’s time to do something concrete about it:

    1. Contact the opposition riding association of your choice in Minister Clement’s riding of Parry Sound – Muskoka and make a donation and/or volunteer for the next federal election campaign. Websites below:

    Parry Sound – Muskoka Federal Liberal Association
    http://psmfla.ca/

    Parry Sound – Muskoka NDP Riding Association
    http://ndpparrysoundmuskoka.ca/

    Parry Sound – Muskoka Green Party
    http://www.psmgreenparty.ca/

    2. Send an email message to Minister Clement’s riding association (http://conservativeparrysoundmuskoka.com/contact.html ) expressing your opposition to the government’s decision to abolish the mandatory long form census, and telling them that you are donating funds and/or your time to help ensure Minister Clement does not return to Ottawa.

    Maybe they can talk some sense into him…

    FYI, the Association of Ontario Health Centres (AOHC), representing over 100 Community Health Centres, Aboriginal Health Access Centres and Community Family Health Teams also opposed the census decision.

    Hi, that’s a great service you’re doing for Canadians.

    You might want to add Warren Kinsella to your list of those who supports the change to the census.

    Darryl Walker, President of the BC Government and Service Employees’ Union, just posted a blog decrying this short-sighted move. Please add to the list of those opposed to this move.

    http://www.bcgeu.ca/Census_changes_will_deal_a_blow_to_public_services

    Every five years I dutifully fill out our country’s census and I look forward to the results. They tell us where we are as a country and allow governments, stakeholders and average citizens to form opinions and make decisions based on reliable data about our current situation.

    Since the federal government announced their intention to scrap the long-form census, statisticians across the country and across the world are up in arms about a move that they say will render our once-revered statistical data extremely unreliable.

    But Minister Tony Clement says that the long form is too intrusive and that Canadians should not be threatened with jail time for not wanting to divulge things like how long they spend doing housework or when they leave for work in the morning. In reality, no one has ever gone to jail for not filling out the census. And the data that is collected, as unnecessarily detailed as some of it may seem, is used for important policy decisions at all levels of government.

    This decision is clearly ideologically based. While trying to pander to a small group of right-wingers, Harper is striking a critical blow towards policymakers’ ability to develop and deliver effective social programs.

    At the same time, the loss of reliable statistical data will make it much more difficult for stakeholders, like unions and non-profits, to participate in policy discussions in a meaningful way.

    The new voluntary survey that the Conservatives have proposed to replace the long-form census does not include questions that previously existed about home care. This undermines the ability of governments to adequately plan for the delivery of home support services.

    Worst of all, statisticians argue that replacing the long-form census with an optional survey will mean that key groups, mostly groups that are already marginalized like poor people, new immigrants and people living with disabilities, will be less likely to fill it out and will therefore be even more underrepresented than they already are.

    Many BCGEU members work in programs devoted to these underrepresented groups and I worry that without reliable data that lets us know which programs are needed where, that all programs and the people they serve will suffer.

    Having equal access to data is a fundamental requirement in order to make sound analysis and relative comparison.

    Hi Tracey,

    I just wanted to reiterate the stance of the BCGEU and our President: as noted above, we are opposed to this move. Can you add us to the list above? And add the Province newspaper to those in favour.

    Cheers,
    Brenton
