So, you didn't get the long form census?

So, you didn't get the long form census? Same.

That's why I've made The Long Form Census We All Wanted.

It asks the REAL questions that Statistics Canada was too afraid to!
70+ questions across 9 categories.

And yes, I will publish the full results.

Don't answer in the comments...
Take it at https://census.todmaffin.com

@tod I’m doing it, but grumbling at a lack of ‘both’ or ‘depends on who I’m talking to’ answers.

I appreciate the fun though! Sending it to friends who are also sad census nerds.

Edit: Also you ask if we’re a resident but there are lots of questions only relevant to citizens. I’ve had to vote with intention, not accuracy.

@tod I was tempted to lie on the first question but thought better of it.

[mayintoronto@beige.party]

@tod This was positively delightful.

@mayintoronto thanks we could all use more joy in our lives. Plus I actually want to know the results!

@tod I am absolutely laughing my head off at "How do you describe your local winter to someone from another country?" "Honestly and they don't believe me" because I really just did this like one thousand times in New Zealand and they really just can't wrap their heads around the fact that temperatures below -40C are physically possible on this planet....

@sundogplanets @tod Canadian living in New Zealand and my children have no idea. They have been to Canada in summer and picture it as *only* a place of muggy summer days for canoeing by the lake

@tod
As an expat, this transported me back to a time when I was sitting on my parents' Chesterfield

@GodsoeWilliam @sundogplanets @tod Even the -20°C nights in Connecticut and western New York are beyond belief here (in New Zealand). I was telling someone a few days ago how it's not cold enough to produce good snow here and was told "But – but – but – it used to be colder – so cold that Lake Rotoiti froze and people went ice skating on it" and really they don't have the physical-world reference to imagine very cold at all. Nor that snow could be anything other than the two kinds that they've experienced.

@tod Okay, this was fun! Thanks for making something for the Canadian nerds

@tod how do you give directions? "Down the road, left at the beer store, then a bit down and right at the Tim Horton's"

[papyrusbrigade@cosocial.ca]

@tod I thought of an extra question after I finished: CBC Radio or CBC television?

[starluna@mastodon.social]

@tod Love the identity questions. I'm not Canadian but looking forward to seeing the results.

@tod As a French speaking individual, I feel a little left out!
