Sexual orientation question to appear on census for first time in 2026

Canadian residents will be asked about their sexual orientation in next year’s national census, CBC News has learned.

While Statistics Canada has asked about sexual orientation in past surveys, next year will mark the first time the question will appear on the long-form census questionnaire that will go out to 25 per cent of Canadian residents in May 2026.

The questions will not be included in the short-form census that goes out to 75 per cent of Canadian residents.


I am not seeing much difference between Carney’s Canada and Justin’s version.
