A poll shows that about 52% of Canadians support re-thinking of the Goverment descision of the madatory long term census. While only 27% of Canadians think the goverment idea is correct. While the others say there not sure. Now whether Canadians support something is irelavent sometimes when it comes to policy, but the point is that most Canadians don't find it that much a problem to write it out. Clement said that he thinks it is too much of a problem to sign it out madatory. Seems that more people don't think it is that bad. Any way even if it is a problem to sign it out. The information we get from it will be shaky. So not only do the majority of Candians want the goverment to rethink this idea, also with this our informations will not be fully accurate. I think the Conservative should re-think this idea, because nothing good will come of this not better information or political points.
In fact, according to the poll (margin of error 3.1 points), 52 per
cent of Canadians think the government should reverse its decision and
keep the mandatory long form census.
Only 27 per cent support the decision to replace it with a voluntary
form (24 per cent of Canadians think the long form is overly
intrusive).

Even if 90% of Canadians want it, it is still intrusive. I agree with Warren on this one.
ReplyDeleteSo a non-mandatary poll is used as support for a mandatary census? If the poll rsults are acceptable then the result of a voluntary census should be just as acceptable.
