The Liberals bring back the
long-form census.
A bizarre move.
Data collected may be helpful in
poverty reduction,
transportation improvement,
employment forecasting,
immigration planning,
city investment in schools, hospitals,
and overall, allow for
evidence-based policy making.
Other than that,
do we really need it?
