Statitistics Canada

No I never saw the long form. I don't make the rules in this country?
I guess if you don't want to do it, then don't. If they fine you $500 bucks, then I guess you'll just have to pay it?
You can't fight city hall and expect to win.

Cowman, I think you are talking about the census form. We are talking about another financial form that is in addition to this from statistics canada. I refuse to fill it in or cooperate just because enough is enough. I filled in the long census form on time at seeding time, I filed my income tax on time, I filled out and submitted my crop insurance form on time, and now I will fill out a new permit book appication. Now I may be old fashioned that is almost too many forms that I had to take time out to fill in. The government should be able to garner enough information from these forms.

What gets me is that even here in an area with relatively few farmers the local radio station has had a radio ad running roughly every half hour for the last two weeks reminding farm operations that we're required by law blah blah blah. Makes it perfectly clear to me that Statistics Canada could have a large part of their budget cut and moved to AAFC to help farmers.

yes you have to fill out a censes form but you don't have to fill it out correctly and with the confidance rules they can not disspute your numbers. My numbers will put them back 100 years and their little computers will be smoking.
