So after a 10-year absence, Canada's long-form census is back — and Canadians were so excited to fill it out they crashed the Statistics Canada website.
1. But the country's nerdiness doesn't end there. A lot of people are actually feeling left out because they only got the short-form census.
Filled out the short form census like a sad person who has never received the long form. It's very short.

I nearly cried when I found out I got the short form census :( https://t.co/2mJukfqBHQ
3.
damn it ..only got the short form census this year
4. The short-form census only takes about five minutes to complete, so if you're the kind of person who loves filling out forms, this really sucks for you.
I got the short form dammit. I wanted more! #Census2016

I had a long day at work and all I wanted was to come home to the long forms census. I got the short form 😔

I was so excited to complete my #Census2016... sad to report I only got to do the short form. I wanted the long form!

This was us last night. We allocated our entire evening for it and yet it only took 5 minutes :( #Census2016 https://t.co/wyFWGL9hgr
"We allocated our entire evening"! 😂
8. Not that people aren't still stoked about the census.
fuck yeah #Census2016!! 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 (only got the short form though)
9. So stoked.
Filled out the Census! I only got the short form, but is it weird I wanted to fill out the long one?
10. But also, so sad.
SO sad. 😢 We got the short form. #itdoesntmakecensus #Census2016

Got the short form 😞 #canadacensus
12. There has to be some kind of German word to describe this feeling.
There ought to be a word to describe the disappointment you experience when you get the short form not the long form #census2016.
13. It's hard not to take it personally.
Well, I completed the census with no trouble. But I got the short form. And I'm feeling a little slighted.
14.
Is it silly to be a bit disappointed that I only got the short form census online?
15. Census envy: the most Canadian feeling.
When you see people talking about the long form #Census2016 and you got the short form #cdnpoli
