The Tories have
scared up a few, in fact precisely two,
"regular guys" to come talk up their changes to the census at the INDU
meeting this morning. Or at least I am assuming that talk radio ranter and
Fox News North wannabe David Ruthorford will be on-side. In addition, Lawrie McFarlane, editorial writer for the Times-Colonist, has made
his feelings clear. And that seems to be it from the schedule that I can see. Even the gal from B.C. civil liberties seems
pro-long form.
Update: Looks like the Tories have found
another talk show guy;
Lowell Green will be appearing.
Update: Tories also found James Henderson, whose
bitches turned out to be with the still mandatory agricultural census, and Joseph Lam, the vice-president of the Canada First Community Organization, to speak on behalf of regular folk.

So if I get the strategy; it will be basically to get these guys to say: I support this move, and so do all my callers; ergo, the Canadian public (or at least those who are "regular people") support the changes to the Census.
Yes it's stupid right-wingnut talk show hosts and their stupid callers ...versus business and labour organizations, every major religious organization, the BAR, universities, provincial and municipal governments, urban planners, statisticians, economists (real ones - not like Harper), etc, etc, etc.
The Harper Conservatives:
...the party of stupid
Rightwing talkshow hosts are 'average' Canadians?
So, we're going the Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck route as final arbiters of "REAL" now are we?
The Canadian versions of those 'free speechers' must be weeping in gratitude on their knees for the upping of media profiles.
