Episode Details

Canadians protest 2026 census over privacy fears and political distrust, with some ripping up forms and mailing them back blank. Mandatory every five years, the census collects data for community planning, housing, labor shortages, and aging populations. Liberal MP Mark Gerretsen urges participation, warning of less funding and weaker services for small towns if undercounts occur. Stats Canada combats misinformation and prepares for data collection, with fines up to $500 for non-compliance. Early response rates look promising, with data remaining secure under the Statistics Act.
