Ep.51 - How to Make Poor People Disappear (Census Edition)

COMMONS

About this episode

People lost their minds when the long form census came back, after being replaced by the voluntary National Household Survey. But why does it matter?

 

David Hulchanski, a professor at University of Toronto, tells us how the NHS made Canada look more equal than it was.

 

Dillon Black from the group Queering613 talks about issues for trans and gender non-binary people in the census.

 

Plus, why is the government considering giving a billion dollars to a company owned mostly by a single family? We hear from Mike Moffatt, assistant professor at the Ivey Business School at Western University and Aaron Wudrick, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
