Stats Canada...IS DISHONEST.

[TOM4CWB]

These people are clueless.

They start the survey saying the information is kept strictly confidntial under federal statute... and end the survey telling me all the people outside the federal gov. they will share our information with that I had just given them.

Perhaps common sense/decency would require disclosure of everyone they are going to release our information to... before I answer questions... NOT After. A deception and dishonest system.

I guess I am just an old grump.

Thats why I ain't fill the Shit out Tom. Hit the garbage can as soon as it came. Imagine if all had a brain like me and did the same, What would Comedia look like then. Lock me up, don't really care, believe it when I see it.......

Jesus h. Christ, TOM.

You have to ask for payment for the info.

They sell this combined info to the grain industry. Sure its not your info specifically, but its a combined info.

You have to ask for your cut before you answer.

Bucket...

Not only am I a grump... but I am stupid to top it off!

Thanks for reminding me!

Just called Statistics Canada... said this question was made up by the interviewing agent! HA.

The untruths off Stats Canada tongues... roll off like a machine printing counterfit money!!!

No 2011 ag census for them... they got all they are going to get.

[bucket]

To be clear, I did not call you stupid.

Although recognizing the fact is the first step to recovery!!

Just funning TOM. Its a shitty saturday.

[TOM4CWB]

I was grinning when I wrote it Bucket!!!

By the way... we could sure use some of that extra rain this way!

60 days without a measurable rain event... only dust suppression.

[bucket]

I could only wish. A tenth of rain now makes mud. Used to be a tenth of rain would barely give you a coffee break, now its rubber boot time.

Ah, the droughts, the good ole days when you could accomplish something.

We had adequate moisture until mid to late june if we could have got the crops in.

Hey about the census - I used the entire!!! comment s section on the back to explain why the federal government must come to mediation on the BSE class action. If all cattle producers did this they might get the message.

[tmyrfield]

we got the farm financial survey from stats canada and the ag census, they are asking for the same info twice, is this to check your answers to see if you are telling the truth, I mean being consistent;?

whatever, do we really have to fill them out like"the law" says?

[TOM4CWB]

Perhaps we should find out?

We have nothing better to do... than fill out multiple surveys... four times over... so they can do what with the info??? SELL IT???

first lowball all assets. By at least 95% in the comment section ask why they don't ask doctors for their asset list,homeowners for the contents of their cupboards, store owners for their inventory. If you lowball your # they can't ask neighbors or other government agencies for info

[ALLFARMER]

Never wasted any of my time filling that garbage out. Its kind of funny my mother said they are still sending it to her in Westlock 8 hours away. She keep writing on it wrong address or moved. Ya moved like as in 9 years ago. LOL

Thankfully I don't get calls anymore asking me what I am going to seed.
