3. SO EXCITED FOR STATS
Canadians were so excited about the long form census that they crashed the government website yesterday. The census collects demographic information on people living in Canada.
Nice to see enthusiasm for the long-form census' return. We’re committed to data-based decision making. #Census2016 https://t.co/bqX5YEola9
