Answer the phone and tell them you refuse to answer. Might have to talk to a manager even but they will stop. You get put on a will not cooperate list. Just not answering them doesn’t work. You don’t have to legally answer them no matter what they say. You have no idea who is phoning you.

At least they have not been threatening on the messages but I always have to wonder what government entity is connected to the next and if speaking up would trigger anything. It would not be a farm census so this must be some other underhanded "innocent" method of finding out information from farmers. I have zero interest in answering anything as I expect anyone here can read between the lines of my excited attitude over it all.

Best thing I did is get rid of my land line! And give the government that old line! Presto no more annoying calls !

It makes me wonder why some of the people that call get so ignorant and arrogant? What do they have to gain if you do or don’t answer? Some get down right nasty threatening with taking you to court, I’ve had that happen several times and have asked them to send me proof that I have to answer it under penalty of law, none have them sent me anything yet. Then I’ve had some that were really friendly and understanding. Not sure if they really don’t have a clue what they are doing or are lied to from higher ups, had one lady tell me once that all the information collected was kept confidential for 100 years, I told her that stats Canada would release the information and would be on the radio in a couple weeks, she didn’t believe that. I’m supposed to be on the “won’t answer “ list but occasionally still get a call, haven’t yet this year.

My wife gave them my email and cell number, she really should have known better, I do not answer stats Canada.
