@timtomch Yes, tonight Scott turned to me fondly and said "Well Hon, shall we go upstairs and fill out our #Census ?"
While this guy was ready to throw down two beers in the name of good data.
Another wild night. Going to have a beer & fill out the census. Or maybe celebrate with a beer after. So many decisions.
How excited was this woman?

She wasn't alone. So many Canadians were Down To Fill out the census that they crashed the government's website.
Canadians have crashed the census page. Canada: YOU ARE A PACK OF DANG NERDS
Seriously: What kind of nation gets so excited to fill out a census, it breaks the website? What is wrong with us? (the answer is nothing)
Never been so excited to fill out a census; and I get the feeling a lot of people feel the same. Page keeps crashing. #Census2016 #GoodData
StatsCan later confirmed the site was down for 45 minutes thanks to our "enthusiasm." 😂 🇨🇦
StatsCan confirms to CBC News that service to census website was interrupted for 45 min. last night. Thanks Canadians for 'enthusiasm.' #hw
