This summer will mark ten years since @TonyClementCPC tried to convince Canadians that shifting from a mandatory census to a voluntary survey wouldn't affect the quality of data. Not sure what made me think of that just now. https://twitter.com/TonyclementCPC/status/1245713822410780672

Quite the thing to see these calls for MOAR DATA AND TRANSPARENCY coming from people who at best sat by when Canada's biggest tool for data collection was turned into a pseudorandom number generator

Let's see the models and projections but instead of testing people for COVID-19 we'll just create a web survey where people are invited to say whether they think they have it.

Who was it who unfollowed me for banging on about a journalist's misuse of the term "linear" for ~two whole days~ (now four)? I have been holding this grudge for NEARLY A DECADE.
