Statcan fall survey

So you think it would be okay to take a farmer out in handcuffs for not answering statscan?

There are bigger criminals to find and prosecute than a farmer who doesn't answer questions that are handed off to the private trade. And where and what does the privacy act do for me now?

bucket, You know well my stance on this.

I don't even think the Act should be in place. I don't think participation should be legislated. I don't think I should be forced to participate so the Feds can sell my information for cash.

But I was and I'd be prepared to go to jail over it.

However, I don't do surveys and they don't ask anymore. Pars
