You receive an access code number in the mail and then go online to fill out the census. We had the short version, I believe there is a longer version available to some.

Nick we own the place in Wabigoon, we pay property taxes, and sales tax when there.

I don't think I should really fill out the census form.

What do you think?

Not everyone gets a notice to fill out the census form. If you receive mail at your Ontario residence the letter with the access code would be there if you were selected for participation. Seeing as the border is closed this may be an acceptable reason for not being able to complete the census this year. You could always contact Statistics Canada and find out what the proper course of action would be.

This year there is quite a bit of variance in forms that different people get. Some folks have got very detailed census forms -- education, number of rooms in your house etc. Multiple pages of questions and taking awhile to fill out.

Others have received very short form requests. Ours was short form -- number of people in house, what gender were you born, what gender do you identify as now, language spoken at home, marital status, French speaking / schooling --- total of about 10 questions focusing on gender and language. I think my wife spent all of 2 minutes on ours.

The feds use the census numbers to calculate the transfer payments they will send to the provinces and territories. Then they know how much its going to cost Alberta to finance the rest of the country.

1) number of people in house - variable.
2) gender of birth - male, according to my penis.
3) gender identified as - Trilaxian facilitator 3rd gender.
4) language spoken at home - Esperanto and Trilaxian.
5) marital status - low.
6) French speaking - unintelligible.
7) French Speaking Education - Montreal hookers.

I got a letter in the mail asking me if wanted a job as a census taker. It didn’t state the rate of pay—but I’m not nosey enough to do it anyway. I doubt the Province of Toronto cares anyway.

Several questions on gender issues. What a waste of time and effort.
