Janet Churnin

Janet Churnin: Thats why the 79-year-old refused to fill out the short form census in 2011, according to The Star. On Friday, Churnin will go to trial for contravening the Statistics Act, a criminal offence that carries a potential $500 fine and/or three months in jail and Janet Churnin loves the long-form census. It helps society figure out how to spend its money, to plan transit and deal with the plight of the marginalized. Well, its just useless, Churnin said in her downtown Toronto apartment Tuesday. They never should have gotten rid of the long-form census. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
