The decision to eliminate the long form census seems to have been a purely ideological and political decision that goes against the opinion of all our statisticians, and leaves us with a flawed understanding of our country. Under the ridiculous notion that forcing a minority of people to fill out a census was an affront to "personal freedom", it has led to the resignation of Munir Sheikh, and already has resulted in skewed and flawed data in that can be seen in 2013 results. There are many things that we do as a society for the good of our country, occasionally filling out a census seems like a trivial amount of work for a huge net gain.

When students learn of the principles behind proper sampling techniques they are often quite surprised to learn of the federal government's decision to remove the mandatory census. Students are curious as to why the government would sabotage a valuable data collection tool, and the possible answers I can offer them are typically unflattering. Mainly, the answers fall into two categories: 1) the Conservative government is ignorant of statistical procedures and has not taken the good advice of professional statisticians, or 2) they are aware of the harm their decision has caused but endorse it for political purposes. I wish that I could say otherwise.

This is absolutely ridiculous. We must keep a track of our demographics. If we are not doing so, how will we keep track of our country. The census form is wonderful in that it helps us to see which minorities are living in an area, and it aids us in providing for their needs, especially when we are receiving new immigrants into our country. They are the ones who are less likely to fill out the census, but they are the ones in most need of govt. assistance.
