26 To those who received the census, it is not a crime to not fill it out, it is only a misdemeanor, and a court must find you guilty before you have to pay a measly fine of $500 (media.omegacanada.win) posted 3 years ago by twentyonepepes 3 years ago by twentyonepepes +27 / -1 11 comments download share 11 comments share download save hide report block hide replies
Since forever, there are no misdemeanors in Canada.
Petty crime?
Summary offense = Misdemeanor
Indictable offense = Felony
They're roughly equivalent, but a totally different system. There are circumstances where a summary can result in jailtime.
I object to that term ....misdemeanor... it offends me both genderly and audibly. However, maybe that's what I should identify as on the stensus.
Nobody said you had to fill it out truthfully.
I filled it out. I may have identified as an Attack Helicopter for my gender.
