New blog post: Datalibre.ca - Reinstatement of the Long-Form Census – Bill C-626

[Tracey P. Lauriault]

Being across the Atlantic does not mean that I have stopped caring about things Canadian.  It is hard to keep up on all things in both places though.  Bill C-626 that will be discussed tomorrow, and it is an important one. I have written up a post on datalibre.ca with some new resources on the issue.

http://datalibre.ca/2014/11/06/reinstatement-of-the-long-form-census-bill-c-626/

If you decide to do anything related to this, or have knowledge to share, or wish to guest blog on this topic, by all means let me know or send the resources along and I will post them.  Any new academic papers? Any failed research projects?

I am really happy that MP Ted Hsu is doing this.  I try to be non-partisan here, and I remain so, but I think this Bill is worth supporting.

I hope some of the open data folks can create their own posts on this issue, and it would be even better if people could share either here on the list or on in their own blogs real stories about how the Household Survey fell short.  The more real stories the better!

Thinking of you all from here!

Cheers

Tracey
