I am sorry, but I don't trust these frogs. I gave them the benefit of the doubt for a while but they have proven that they are out for their own people and despise anglo Canada. They really do. He's tempting the anglo's with dreams of ''less immigrants'' and ''better jobs for you'' but that's not how things would transpire.

Bernier was very chummy with the U.N and then there was this during the CPC leadership race.

I've met him and listened to him speak at length many times. That was not a case of him being French. His problem is with reading words exactly the way they are spelt.
Half the PPC Candidates in BC were involved in either Immigration consulting or selling real estate to overseas buyers. One of them was homeless and didn't even live in the riding.
The rest were mostly liberal and NDP infiltrators.

PPC is a dead end, regardless if Max stays or goes. I've heard he's being drawing $2000 per month for doing nothing but posting on Facebook and Twitter.
He makes no effort to get in the media other then Lockdown rallies.. Politicians are not welcome to the Toronto ones, which is why they only go to ones outside the downtown.

Michelle Rempel lives in Oklahoma which her American husband. That's the only reason she was steamed about the travel restrictions.
She's also a BIG fan of Morgane Oger and Klaus Schwab. The "Great Reset" guy.

All politicians are scum, regardless of party.

Who else did the mandatory online census and saw this tranny shit? It effectively means you have to state everyone in the households biological sex twice. One question is what is their sex and the next is what is their gender. This will cause most people to choose male male or female female. Why not just ask something like: "Are there transgender people living in your household?" instead of making us fill everything out twice.
It asked how much you spend on childcare. I don't remember that in previous years so it must be for the new gov childcare scheme they've been talking about for yrs. Asked for each individual whether they had a mental illness.
Do you support the census being mandatory? IDK how it works in other countries but I remember people being mad when Stephen Harper made it non-mandatory for a couple yrs. I support it because I see how the statistics need to be made to allocate gov money but I can also see why some people would hate it. Who even counts exactly the amount of weeks worked a yr?

Not all French Canadians are like that. Acadians don't hate Anglos and most are bilingual, at least in my experience.

An online form is capable of auto fill. If you tick “yes” to the transgender question, the ”mental illness“ question should auto fill to “yes”.

I think all that should be required is names, number of people in households, and everything else should be voluntary. The mandate to have a Census isn't an invitation for a far-reaching inquisition into your personal life. As for that gender question the answer is fuck off, none of your business.

 

[Annie Adderall]

And age. Every country with public education and social services needs to know the ages of people to determine school funding. More elderly citizens probably means they'll need more medical and support services in the area.

The mental health question is also useful because many countries don't have the mental health services their citizens need. To the point of system collapse in some areas. Anyone who visits the Tard Baby thread knows many families struggle to find placement for disabled family members.

The sex/gender question is weird.

Yes, but it just wouldn't be the Commonwealth Anglos without some good ol' government overreach.

In Australia the anonymity of the information (in 2006 the law was changed to allow names and addresses to stay connected to the data) has undermined confidence. Plus our current government completely fucked the last online census and every other digital roll out since. Previously census identifying information was held in paper records for 100 years. Now the census has become a data mining fact checking tool of an invasive untrustworthy government. I pride myself on having avoided the census for nearly 30 years. It’s getting harder. As a snapshot it’s useful but as a policing tool it’s too available to be misused. Most if not all the data can be collated by other means, but governments are lazy.

there's no reason it should be dead and it is growing in the polls. this is the new reform party but better since it might get bloc voters and form a majority government. If you couldn't tell I am optimist

 

[Cynically Insane]

I did the census. I asked my kids how they identify their respective genders........

I had written here what my kids said their genders are. They are a cute FU to gender ideology. As I was about to post I realized that I could literally be identified by the feds. They would totally know who Cynically Insane is in real life. So I deleted it.

The point is, I was not going to let the nonsensical gender question pass without making our opinions know. I can't be the only the one who played this game. Did all of you guys answer seriously?

I've had this as my FB gender ID for years....not a peep from FB

 

[Hyacinth Bucket (Bouquet)]

I got a really short census. It didn't ask about childcare. I'm very glad because I got a very long one once and that thing takes forever to fill out, especially if you've got a large household. No wonder people get annoyed and write their religion is Jedi.

That's a reasonable answer. All that is easy to fill out but stuff like "labour market activity" is really annoying and cumbersome to fill out. Basically have to find your tax forms and other employment crap or guesstimate and risk being investigated for false info. Don't know how often they do that but they can.
They ask you all these disability and health related questions yet don't consider some people have dyscaluclia and other math problems and all the complex labour related stuff will not be easy for them.
You also answer: religion, race AND ethnicity. It has like 4 different terms for atheist except the actual term atheist. My dad was getting annoyed asking these questions and said just say N/A but they literally took that away. So you can only say none but if you choose that and it doesn't really apply that's false info and illegal.
Here's a list of all the recognized ethnicities plus you can write in your own so I wrote in an Iron Age one because autism:

Some listed options: Yazidi, Rohingya, United Empire Loyalist, Zoroastrian, Buddhist, Coptic, Huguenot, Jewish etc. why are these considered an ethnic group and not a religion or historical group???

I answered seriously other than saying my ethnicity is Gaulish.

I agree, I'm not against the census because the statistical info can be really valuable but mental healthcare in Canada is horrible so I feel including it in the census was just virtue signal by the government to pretend they're doing anything about mental health.

Mental healthcare in Canada is non existent but that's like most countries. Wards are being phased out and the only ones left are forensic units (even those are closing).

"United Empire Loyalist"?

An "ethnic group"???

WTF??????

A lot of places have public counseling options but they are usually shitty therapists and you can be referred to a
psychiatrist under the public system but it takes years to actually see them. A lot of people have private healthcare plans from work which may or may not cover mental health counseling usually in part but sometimes you have to pay up front not direct billing. I think a lot of people just don't bother with it.

 

[StevieLasVegas]

Anyone else really not give a fuck about the 215 bodies kerfuffle? Unless they allow an actual forensic team in and investigate the bodies, shut the fuck up.

Also love the sperging about "cancel Canada Day" nonsense following it. My retort to anyone going on about that is if they're so adamant about it, then go to work that day and ask to not be paid any holiday pay for it. Don't want the holiday? You lose any perks from the holiday.

 

[Woe-B-Gon (TM)]

I imagine most people. I keep hearing grifters talking about what needs to be done as if any policy changes made now are going to resurrect those kids then. Instead everything they sell seems to be more power or money for them. Funny, that.
