Complete The Census

"It's The Law"

I don't know if this 2011 Census form was put here as a joke or not.
It's hung on this old country school house on a back road to Palmer SK.
I spotted it heading to see a customer and finally being able to take a short cut
down a grid road that is not flooded out.
If this was placed here by the government it really shows how they can waste
time, money & resources.
I found one in Girvin like this a few years ago.
And what I can make out is if you are not home in a rural area they bag & hang just like this.
They get real good at tying knots.......LOL

Just continues to prove my point that politicians are not very smart.....

Maybe they figure the land owner will see it.

Nice shot Mike, our government always seem to waste money, like asking to pay .02 cents short on income tax with a envelope and postage... Probably more horror stories out there.. Keep them coming with excellent photos....

I didn't know Census Canada was into ghosts (or mice). Cool shot and find of a slice of Prairie life - joke or seriously placed there.

Fantastic find, Mike. Huge kudos.

Now, the important thing is: Is it the long form?
