2700...Cenus Stuff

The Latest From Inside The CBC webletter has this clever bit from Metcalfe in Ottawa:

The Liberals have released a fake census questionnaire intended to mock the Conservative government.

The fake census, called the “Voluntary Conservative Census Form,” intends to paint Conservatives as narrow-minded louts for scrapping the mandatory census.

It asks such questions as “Are there any rooms in your house where you keep books? If so, why?”

It also includes a question specifically about the CBC: “How many CBC shows do you watch? Do you feel bad about this? How much money do you think the government should waste on the CBC?”


Brilliant.

  1. Love it!!! This really shows the Conservatives for what they are: narrow-minded, bigotted neanderthals... (and I'm being kind with that assessment).

  2. Childish.

    Stunts like this is why the Liberal Part is a has-been and hard to take seriously. Grasping at trivial issue after trivial issue just hoping that one might catch.

    And WesternGrit's typical response is laughable. Are you saying that the 37% of Canadians who voted for the Conservatives are - in your kind words - narrow-minded, bigotted neanderthals?

  3. "stunts?" Calm down, eh?! It's a 'fake questionnaire' i.e as in a joke.

    The irony is I guess Conservatives have that 'typical response' because in every jest there is some truth.

    What's wrong, Mr. Doug? None of the rooms in your house have any books?
    pahahaha ;-)
