How accurate is StatsCan's data on the Tamil population?

[Tracey P. Lauriault]

I think the Toronto Star is one of the few papers that covers data issues at all in Canada!  Please do prove me wrong!  The following was posted on a Social Planning Network of Ontario list.

The Toronto Star published an editorial titled “The truth about Tamil statistics” last Friday. It talks about how StatsCan’s 2006 Census count on the Tamil population compared with other sources. I think it is an interesting read.
