Note: This list is no longer being maintained. This is because the list of opponents to the census change is growing rapidly, and the opposition to this change can accurately be described as near-universal among groups who use the data. For more detailed and updated lists, please see http://eaves.ca/save-the-census-coalition/ and http://datalibre.ca/census-watch/

You can add the Town of Milton and Halton Region to the opponents list. Milton town council just passed a motion asking the Federal government to reverse its decision last night - Halton passed a similar motion at their last meeting.
