TheNewTeddy Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 I wasn't sure where else to post this, but someone should explain to the Globe that you are supposed to presume that readers are not idiots. http://www.globalnews.ca/jargon+in+the+census/6442576173/story.html They've managed to include "Province" as "jargon", or, confusing terminology that's in the census. I find that a bit sad and insulting really. Quote Feel free to contact me outside the forums. Add "TheNewTeddy" to Twitter, Facebook, or Hotmail to reach me!
waldo Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 given the idiocy of the Harper Conservatives move to alter the long-form census process, I would expect the PMO has sent out (also failed) media talking points. equally, in a similar vein, do not presume the journalists are capable, although in this particular Lorne Gunter case, you could be excused given his overwhelming display of repeat failures. He did try to recover his column with an update... once he was alerted that the released information associates with the (still) mandatory short form. Quote
