5 Feet of Fury

Why people hate the census. And Quebeckers. (You’re welcome.)

They’ve got a lot of nerve bitching when they say this stuff in public with a straight face:

“These statistics, like those published by Statistics Canada  and the Institut de la statistique du Québec, help the decision-maker, the elected representative, the democrat. The elected democrat wants to help the people, the citizens, and take an enlightened and scientific view of that people’s situation in all spheres of life and society and throughout the nations they represent…”

“Political mathematics entails having all the -— I would like my Conservative friends to listen carefully to the next word -— scientific information, obtained by using a scientific method. The term scientific is very important. I know that some MPs believe that the world was created 5,000 years ago and that human beings lived alongside dinosaurs. That is not true. They should stop believing such things. They are not helping science and not helping the Quebec or Canadian public.”
