@cow99 @AnnaAnthro a) Statistics Canada is responsible for getting the data, they don't make policy. b) Wow, that's ridiculous.

@cow99 I am pretty sure most of the data categories are created with & for provincial & municipal usage. Canada’s Constitution requires feds do the census but it is local governments that use the data. Health care and schools are provincial jurisdiction.
