So now the numbers are starting to charge in.

Here’s an up to date list of organizations, companies, and newspapers that have spoken out on the decision to end the long form census.

It really is mind boggling. You have religious groups (Jewish and Evangelical!) Left and Right leaning think tanks, NGO’s, Companies, Governments… browse below. And let me know if there are more I’m missing. I haven’t included individuals as they are simply too numerous. I started this list with links from Aaron Wherry at Macleans and Haroon Siddiqui at the Toronto Star.

There is also a rapidly growing a petition you can sign that has (remarkably) already garnered thousands of signatures. If you are not sure if you should sign read my globe piece about why you should care.
