According to the 2001 Canadian census, blacks account for only 2.2% of
Nova
Scotia's population.

I think that is a low figure. Many would not bother to complete a survey
and
many of mixed race may not indicate black as their origin. I've read
opinions that 5% would be closer to reality.

You're right, it probably is a low figure.
But I would also venture to guess there are as many lazy *whites* as a
percentage of the population as there are blacks, making the overall
percentages very accurate.

How about you Don?
Do you think it's only the blacks in Canada who don't bother to complete a
survey?
