Canadians who understand economics and the value of statistics admire the integrity and standards of Statistics Canada. The department is respected world wide for the quality of its work, and its rigorous methodologies. For these reasons it is painful to see so many comments promoting the folly that there is a conspiracy afoot, and that StatsCan is a co-conspirator. The world is wandering down a dangerous path now because so many people prefer to just create, adhere to, and broadcast falsehoods as though they were truth.

And the government doesn't print money. Please stop saying that. Go and take an introductory macroeconomics course and try to be a better person.
