Small news item (here's the Toronto Star version) reveals the full extent of the vandalism Statistics Canada has achieved with its 2006 census.
For the first time ever, Canadians were asked if they wanted census data to be available to researchers a century from now. Only 56% ticked yes. So Statistics Canada will now be free to destroy 44% of the personal data on the 2006 census, making the census perfectly useless to future Canadians. Given their pigheaded stupidity on this matter for most of a decade now, the StatsCan censors surely do the purge the moment they can.
The bloody bureaucrats even have the audacity to uptalk it: hey, more than half of Canadians want to make their data available, is how they released the news.
