    Stats Can Stawkers

    Have been getting about 4 hrs sleep a day and they have been calling twice a day even leaving threatening messages What a bunch of out of touch idiots . You would think they would know better than to bother people in NE Sask this spring . Just shows how out of touch they really are with farming .

      Don't have call block on your phone? Guarantee you'll never hear from them again. I warned them not to phone every year and ask same dumb questions and never phone before 8 am CT time. Broke both rules the next time around and then they got blocked every time they phoned after that with different numbers. Haven't heard from them in 2 years. Get the odd piece of mail from them, including ag census - all into the outdoor furnace, don't even open them. **** them all.

      They tried to threaten me once - told them they meant **** all to me and called their bluff. Swear at them on the phone - it really throws them for a loop - they expect people to listen and bend over - not fight back.

            Getting rid of landline is the way to get them off your back. Worked for me plus saved 70 bucks a month.

                Ring, ring.

                Me:Hello

                Statscan: We want to fill out our livestock survey.

                Me: Not interested.

                STATS: You have to answer our questions. It is the law.

                Me: What is your name and where do you live?

                STATS: Mary.
                .
                Me: Mary What?

                STATS: Just Mary. I do not have to tell me my last name.

                Me: Then I won't answer the questions.

                STATS: But you have to, it is the law.

                Me; OK. Let me get this straight. You want me give my personal financial information out over the phone to an anonymous person that I have never met, and don't know?

                STATS: Yes

                Me: You can GFY.

                  ****in stats can somehow got my cell number. Saw a number I didn't recognize so called it back and it was stats can so quickly hung up. If they catch me off guard I guess the farm will have been seeded to grass again for 2017.

                            Ask yourself why all this info is so important?

                            I've hear so they can better serve us and design programs and identify areas that need addressing.....ok. what have they been doing with the info up to now? Government bureaucracy. ....jobs....useless jobs.

                              As with any government, it is not always about serving farmers better or designing programs to aid farmers.
                              Some times it's just empire building.

                              In my case, I can tell you that there is NOT ONE piece of paper in the world that ever showed that I owned any livestock in my life.
                              And why would I with no fences?

                              But that did not keep them from calling me in spite of the fact that I had told them repeatedly that I owned no livestock
                              STATS really did phone me constantly for about 4 or 5 months and up to 4 times in one day.
                              It really helps to keep a day journal, you know.

                              I'm surprised that I kept my cool for that long under that insane harassment by the federal government.
                              Nowadays I make sure I DON'T keep my cool any more for crap like that.

                              I dunno, maybe they were ordered to harass me because I was a mouthy anti-CWB, Western separatist.

                              On the bright side, I at least got part of the last laugh on one of those two.
