Demographics
gollark: Polygenic embryo selection is a thing now a bit.
gollark: This is a terrible argument. This is not how it works for any other right. "You can murder people but you'll be arrested" → freedom to murder?

Notes
  1. Civil parishes served a variety of government functions until 1966, when the new Municipalities Act stripped them of their responsibilities; they continue to provide convenient boundaries for government uses, especially electoral districts and local service districts. Statistics Canada uses civil parishes as census subdivisions for all parts of the province that are not within municipalities and similar entities.
