S Confederation, Canada has had a mandatory census with questions on religion, ethnic background, occupation, school attendance, literacy, infirmities, and much else (see Dillon 2010). Many of these questions are now on the long form census (2B) that since 1971 has gone to 20 percent of households. The remaining 80 percent of the households received the short form census (2A), which has basic questions on age, sex, marital status, family relationships, and mother tongue. In late June 2010, six weeks before the forms were to go to the printer, the federal government of Canada announced without public consultation that in 2011 the census would consist of only the short form, which would go to all households. The previously mandatory long form would be eliminated and replaced by the voluntary National Household Survey (NHS)
