Just a thought that many of you may not be aware of is this.... Statistics Canada has been gathering info on ALL canadians regarding EVERY aspect of canada, they have been doing this since WW 2. SO TOO EVEYONE WHO [***] ABOUT GOVERNMENT CUT BACKS, THERE ARE NO SERVICES IN MY AREA,MY FAMILY DOCTOR LEFT AND NOW I DON'T HAVE ONE,I CAN'T FIND A JOB, I CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE...ANSWER THE DAMN SURVEYS... without your say.....NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE.
The message I get is that it is Statistics Canada. They ask me to please call 877-253-4904 and quote an ID# which is my phone number. When you call the toll-free number you get a recording "this is the Sturgeon Falls Stats Canada office, please leave a message." I don't leave a message.
Numerous calls at every hour of day/night with no message ever left. Answered once, and they claimed to be Stats Canada doing a charity survey, that I have been picked and 'can't be replaced' by having them call someone else - very pushy. I told them I would consider participating and they asked when they could call back, I said I was on a rush/overtime project and to call next month, they said ok, yet the calls still come before then. The nature of the caller and the described survey and sample questions they gave me leads me to be suspiscious of it being legit.
