The reasons are multiple:
1. NAFTA which forbids preferential treatment to truly Canadian companies or Canadian workers.
2. The Smart Border Plan between the USA and Canada signed by John Manley December 2001 as Deputy Prime Minister of Canada and Tom Ridge, the U.S. Homeland Security Director which requires the sharing of citizen data, meaning the US Homeland Security gets what it wants to know about Canadians. The terms of this agreement are being implemented incrementally but quickly without the knowledge or consent of Canadians. It is not just covert sharing that is to happen, but overt as well. Start with the stealth and then whammy with the fait accompli.(John Manley currently is a leading light in the North American Task Force of CEO's commanding the creation of the North American Union.) Our census data will be shared one way or the other so long as this agenda is permitted.
3. The Security and Prosperity Partnership Agreement signed by Martin (Canada), Bush (US) and Fox (Mexico) in March 2005 confirmed by Harper, Bush, and Fox in March 2006.By this agreement the three leaders agreed to implement the grand design of the most influential corporations of North America to create a common unit of North America sharing data and merging the three countries into one union without an overall democratically accountable representative political structure. They agreed to expand the Smart Border Plan melding the three countries into one corporate/ military union, focusing initially on Canada /US unity. This means changing Canadian laws and legal structures to mimic those created by the US Congress removing civil liberties (like the security of our census information.)
The integration is proceeding in Canada by subtle but massive bureaucratic restructuring of our skin and skeleton, fleshed out by the dismantling of our constitutional rights without due process and by deceit. David Emerson has crossed to the Conservatives to continue that restructuring that he was spearheading under the Liberals. Take note of recently changed names of government agencies that reflect this transformation.
4. The overweaning power and influence of the giant corporations located in North America.
5. The overweaning power of the Prime Minister, his office and his bureaucracy which runs the government, is implementing this transformation, and is stealing from us our country, our prosperity and our security.
6. The excessive number of elected and unelected officials whose first loyalty is to the interests of their own giant corporations.
7. The will, determination, and/ or acquiescence of the politicians of all parties in leadership roles in our Canadian Parliament to facilitate the creation of a North American Union rather than to serve and protect Canadians.
8. The total failure of the Canadian Parliamentary system to be able to serve the will and needs and security of its citizens or to protect and preserve Canadian sovereignty.
The scenario is depressing. Each of us can easily feel totally powerless. But we are not.
Confronting this census is a something that each of us can do.And it matters. And it can even be old fashioned Canadian fun. See http://www.countmeout.ca/
So what are our responsibilities re the Census? For all those who have concerns about the census for any reason, the attached document has helpful information. According to the analysis in that attachment, current Canadian law requires only that we provide the information respecting the count of the population and the census of agriculture. Any other information that is asked is voluntary. The penalties of the Statistics Act only apply if we fail to answer only those questions about population and agriculture.
Section 8 is the relevant applicable section of the Statistics Act CHAPTER S-19 An Act respecting statistics of Canada. Sections 3(c) and 19 (2) have to be read with Section 8. I quote from the Act:
