		<description>acridrain: stop your corrosive ways because it&#039;s clearly taking a toll on your own brain as collateral damage.

For one thing, the census has only ever asked about the no. of bathrooms in one&#039;s home _once_: in 1981: http://www12.statcan.ca/census-recensement/2006/ref/dict/app-ann001-eng.cfm

But I guess you couldn&#039;t know that&#039;s changed since you&#039;re a Conservative &amp; so by def. are decades behind the times.

And that stupid http://jedicensus.com/ site you mention was started by other punkass psrdo-libertarian twerps at the Western Standard.* It&#039;s about as probative of something genuinely amiss as the &quot;Can a donut get more fans th[a]n Stephen Harper&quot; Facebook page.**

Dry up, already.

* &quot;And here&#039;s the Jedi Census website  we (especially Robert Jago) threw together to poke fun at the whole issue.&quot;

		<description>I would have assumed that someone who talked about this would have done more than drink their own bathwater. 

http://www.nationalpost.com/scripts/Census+intrusive/3289102/story.html

And here&#039;s the Canadian Jedi who are in solid support of this census:

&quot;The long-form census is vital to the Jedi. This is why we oppose the reckless and short-sighted decision by the Dark Side to end the long-form mandatoriness.&quot;

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-28198&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@sassy&lt;/a&gt;, You&#039;ll probably find out that Ridofbrain is probably not smart enough to fill the form out correctly.</description>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-28242&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@ridenrain&lt;/a&gt;, Please provide a link Ridofbrain. Until then it&#039;s just words. Hot air paraphrased by a person who&#039;s credibility is non-existent. That would be you Ridofbrain.

Jedis? Talk about lame stale talking point. Jeez Ridofbrain, you could at least try and make an effort.</description>

		<description>This is from the Financial Post: 
Here the government forces Canadians to disclose a host of information about their private lives such as what languages they speak on a regular basis; whether they are White, Chinese, South Asian, Black, Filipino or a host of other ethnicities; where they work; how they get to work (i.e. bike, car, walk, taxi); what language they speak on the job; how much housework they do; how much time they spend playing with their kids or talking to their elders; whether or not they have any difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or bending; which member of the household pays the rent or mortgage; how many rooms their homes have (and how many are bedrooms); and whether or not their homes have any “missing or loose floor tiles,” “defective steps” or more major deficiencies like “defective plumbing.”

On the lighter side, the Jedi church of Canada has come out on your side.</description>

		<description>ridenrain doesn&#039;t even know when he/she has lost the argument - sad, very sad indeedy.

I think a little humour is good.  The Cons would have you hiding in your basement living in fear.

Should have added:  Do you support the troops, if you are Con you don&#039;t have to answer, we told you you support the troops.</description>
