Hi everyone,
Just wanted to report that I have sent an email using an "All Staff" address here at the York University Libraries with this information as well as the Globe & Mail article from this morning that discussed it. I also sent it out to two forums for the DEMS students as I am their subject librarian. I have contacted a few other groups that I am part of to see if I might post the information on their list servs. Thanks again for alerting us all to these developments.

nice! a few other actions here to - http://datalibre.ca/2014/11/06/reinstatement-of-the-long-form-census-bill-c-626/ Harv and Peter, and others! If you have census use stories, suppression, spurriousness, and other stories you wanted to tell but could not as the data would not let you! Please publish them! I can give you a spot on Datalibre.ca or I can post for you you! Journos' need real examples! On Thu, Nov 6, 2014 at 7:40 PM, Harvey Low <[hidden email]> wrote:
