Disclaimer
Short version. We're not lawyers, not doctors, not accountants, and not the government. We're a website. Read everything with that in mind.
Not Legal Advice
Nothing on this site is legal advice. We talk about the Statistics Act, court cases, and prosecutions, but we're not lawyers and we're not your lawyer.
If you're thinking about refusing the census, or you've been contacted by Stats Canada, or you're wondering what your rights are in a specific situation, talk to an actual lawyer. Not a website. Not a forum. A lawyer.
Not Government Information
We're not affiliated with Statistics Canada, the Government of Canada, or any government agency. Nothing on this site represents their position, and nothing on their site represents ours.
If you want the official version of anything, go to the official source. We're the other side of the conversation, not a substitute for it.
Not Financial Advice
We talk about tax data and income information and how Stats Canada can access it. That doesn't mean we're giving financial or tax advice. We're not.
If you've got questions about your taxes, your income reporting, or anything else in that territory, talk to an accountant. Or the CRA. Just not us.
Not A Campaign
We're not a political party. We're not a registered third party. We're not funded by anyone. We don't endorse candidates and we don't take positions on elections.
If you see someone claiming to speak for us, or raising money in our name, they're not us. We don't do that.
Opinions Are Ours
When we say something, it's our opinion. When we quote someone, it's their opinion. When we cite a fact, we try to get it right. But facts change and sources get updated, and sometimes we miss things.
If you spot an error, tell us. We'll fix it.
External Content
We link to news stories, court documents, government pages, and other websites. We don't control what's on those sites. We don't endorse everything they say. If a link goes somewhere you don't like, that's not our fault.
If a link is broken, tell us. We'll try to fix it.
Reader Submissions
Some of what's on this site comes from readers. Tips, stories, cartoons, news items. We try to verify what we can, but we can't verify everything.
If you send us something and it turns out to be wrong, let us know. We'll correct or remove it. But we're not responsible for the accuracy of everything readers send in.
Use At Your Own Risk
You can read this site. You can share it. You can act on it if you want. But if something goes wrong, that's on you, not us.
We're not responsible for any consequences of anything you do after reading this site. That includes refusing the census, contacting Stats Canada, writing to your MP, or anything else. You're a grown adult. Make your own decisions.
No Guarantees
We don't promise the site will always be up, always be accurate, or always be complete. We don't promise the information here is the latest version. We don't promise anything, really.
What we do promise is that we'll keep posting, keep updating, and keep telling people what's happening. That's the whole job.
One More Thing
None of this is meant to scare you off. The disclaimers are here because they have to be. But the site exists because we think the census outsourcing is wrong and people should know about it. That part isn't a disclaimer. That part is the point.
