More on the Census

Probably the most interesting thing I learned from watching the Parliamentary proceedings was how the Census is used to benchmark all of the voluntary surveys done by Stats Canada to try and identify and correct for bias. This just seems unbelievably cool. I'd really like to be involved in trying to do that at some point. I'm just imagining some of the biases you might find in relation to the specific questions you had asked. There are probably some very quirky discoveries.
