Low-Income Canadians: StatsCan

StatsCan: But unfortunately, we can't find out from the new data just how low-income Canadians performed on income since that time. Thanks to the Harper government's elimination of the long-form mandatory census, StatsCan says Canada's new income data is not comparable to the old data, according to Huffington Post. The results from the NHS " show markedly different trends than those derived from other surveys," StatsCan states and The latest data from the National Household Survey marks the first major update to information on Canadians' incomes since the 2006 census. In that time, Canada has gone through the worst economic crisis the world has seen since the Great Depression.
