Just got mine in the mail last week too. If that’s the nonsense they’re asking, I might just throw it out.

That's just the short form. The long form is more detailed. I think 1 in 4 Canadians get the long form.
Also, the deadline was May 12 2026.

I thought I would break up my coffee routine and have two teas instead. Nope, that doesn't make it. I need that coffee kind of caffeine. I like tea, it relaxes me, but I need coffee first.
Or maybe I drank the tea wrong by not putting up my pinky finger while drinking it.

We had some guy show up at the door about a week ago with a clipboard and ask 3 or 4 benign questions and hand me one of those tear open cards with a web address and access code inside. Never got it in the mail at all.

Then again our mail /Amazon orders etc run at about the speed of the Pony Express. Purolator won't even deliver where we are. If we got something coming through them we gotta get it sent to someone that lives in a "town".

I forgot all about that census thing till I saw these posts. Oh well

Maybe he was at your door because you changed addresses since the last census. Juss verifying it was you.
I am just guessing I really don't know.

Nah he was definitely doing door to door looking at the list he had. He also confirmed what the address was Only indication we got is black metal number on a 6x6 post at the road. It'd be really easy to miss.

@Rigjockey how annoying are the Jays broadcasts when they stick the games on Apple TV instead of Sportsnet or a sensible American network? Or is that just me

Very annoying! I don't do Apple anything. I hear that the games commentated by Apple are absolute dog shit! Not the games but the comentary.
This is a bad by MLB. Why am I paying for SportsNet when Friday night games are on Apple only? Licensing should be for one network only.

We don't have it either but we have about 12000 TV channels from all over the world thanks to an app on our Android boxes. The sports have their own category where you can just pull up all the games from whatever league. Sometimes a game we wanna watch won't be on a TV channel but we get the feed from Apple TV from the games list in the MLB category.

I can't fathom how livid I would be if I actually paid for Apple TV and had to listen to those morons.
