The Globe and Mail is reporting on a survey that shows that 76% of polled economists think that the long-form census should remain mandatory. An interesting number to be sure, but unfortunately the survey is completely unreliable.
You see, no one threatened anyone with fines or confinement to fill out this survey. If no one was under physical threat than how can we possibly trust the results?
I call upon the government to institute a mandatory survey of economists and their opinion on the census. It is only then that we will get to the truth of the matter.
