It's now been five years since the ghastly Tony Clement announced that the Cons were killing the long form census.
Claiming that it was a gross invasion of privacy, and that they had been "flooded" with complaints.
Which like all things Con turned out to be just another Big Lie.
The Conservative government listened to only a relative handful of Canadians — including conspiracy theorists afraid the government was going to round them up — before scrapping the mandatory long-form census, according to documents obtained by the Toronto Star.
There were just a handful of complaints, many of them from the usual suspects.
And the decision to kill it was made by one of the screaming voices in Stephen Harper's head.
