Amazing sound byte from one of our smartest Canadians, speaking out on harper's war against fact, science or reason. He was really something, to not be remembered

From the link:

It cost an extra $22 million to replace the mandatory census with the voluntary National Household Survey.

WTF were the Conservatives thinking? We got useless data AND it cost the taxpayers more money. Were they deliberately trying to sabotage evidence-based decision making in government so they could push through their ideological agenda without having to worry about being contradicted by annoying little things like "facts"? That's the only possible explanation I can think of on why they would have done this.
