I mean, have you ever received notice regarding a nationwide census? The thing is, do Canadians actually have to fill up the information regarding a census? What happens if you don’t complete the census or refuse? Is it even mandated by law for every citizen in Canada to complete the census.

    Have you not read the repeated notices mailed to you? Yes, they are mandatory, yes, they are required by law.

    First, you get mail notices. If you ignore those, someone from census Canada comes to the door to ask the questions on the form and fill em out for you.

    All that said, there are plenty of people who ignore them.

    Like every 5 years or something. Used to have more questions but the conservatives didn’t like how people were using census data to justify spending money on woke shit like disabled people and education.
