| Greetings, all.<br /> <br /> I haven't heard anything more from the census people since the nice lady visited me back in July. However, my website (where I frequently complain about everything including the Census) attracted the attention of a fellow named Tom who actually complied with ... |

| I'm inclined to agree with rearguard on his last post. I'm not a statistician (in fact, I hated the course in university), nor have I been involved with any real level of municipal planning. For all intents and purposes, let's just say I'm an average law-abiding guy with an average job who lives in ... |

| I believe there is some confusion about the points I was trying to make.<br /> <br /> I am not implying that everyone should live as hutterites in Canada.<br /> <br /> I was also very much aware that my math included areas like lakes, rivers, mountains, etc. Nor did it take i... |
