Count Me Out
The "Count Me Out" has some strategies for filling out this years mandatory census forms.

Minimum cooperation with the Census is the foundation of the CountMeOut project. If we are to be successful, Canadians must buy into the MINIMUM COOPERATION strategy.
First, it must be stated that CountMeOut.ca is not advocating outright refusal to provide census data. The Statistics Act, rightly or wrongly, makes it an offence to refuse to provide the information, or to provide false information. And, as StatsCan goes to great length to assert, consolidated aggregate Census data is useful for determining transfer payments to provinces and other social programs. Refusal or not to provide information is a personal decision, that each Canadian can make.
However we believe that, fortunately, Canadians can effectively register their opposition to free trade and the jeopardizing of personal privacy, through MINIMUM COOPERATION with the Census, rather than outright refusal. If even 50 percent of Canadians apply minimum cooperation with one or more of the techniques discussed in this website, the efficiencies which were supposedly to be achieved by contracting out part of the Canada Census to Lockheed Martin (Canada) will be more than nullified. At the end of the process, you will have met the legal requirement to provide your Census information, but you will have exercised several of the options offered you by Statistics Canada, or otherwise available to you. By doing this you have the empowerment to impress on Statistics Canada and the Government of Canada that Canadians will not tolerate the sellout of their sovereignty and the compromising of their personal privacy.
This sort of opportunity to easily, yet effectively register your opposition to NAFTA and loss of privacy does not happen every day. Let's all use this opportunity!
