How do they measure religious affiliations ? How does statistics canada collect this data , basically, if a family in a town doesnot show on a sunday morning to a church- are you saying that the data is shared with statistics canada ? How does statistics canada know that a person adheres to a religious group ? No wayyyyyy - this is a highly questionable analysis

It’s a census?

A form is delivered to all household by Statistics Canada, and by law you must fill out that form.

If you don’t they essentially pester you until you do, and eventually escalate to fines and other measures.
