Response Rates: Statistics Canada

Statistics Canada: The face of the average Manitoban is either a 21-year-old aboriginal male or an 80-year-old Klingon warrior from the upcoming J.J. Abrams movie Star Trek: Into Darkness. Left out in the cold, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Because of low response rates, Statistics Canada chose to withhold all data on a quarter of Canadian municipalities, or 1,128, compared with the 200 that were suppressed after the 2006 long-form census and DUE to the reduced accuracy of the nations new census methodology, the proportion of Canadians who are visible minorities is either "one in five" or "totally awesome." THE federal governments decision to axe the long-form census has left parts of the Conservative heartland in western and rural Canada without some of the newest data on how its population is changing.
