For All Canadian Mockers

[Buffalo Tom]

Dear CAP Friends,

Not long ago, thanks to questioning by NDP Member of Parliament Bill Blaikie, Industry Minister Allan Rock was forced to admit that a
contract for a preliminary census was awarded to a consortium that included giant U.S. defence contractor Lockheed Martin.

Long time Canadian patriot Mel Hurtig strongly objected and suggested Canadians might have to boycott the procedure to force the government to change its mind.

Meanwhile NDP Leader Jack Layton called on incoming prime minister Paul Martin to cancel the deal.

The Canadian Action Party, too, is outraged. It is a foregone
conclusion that every bit of Canadians' private information would wind up in the computers of U.S. defence and intelligence agencies. It is the most blatant breach of sovereignty to date and if this is the price of NAFTA, that treaty must be abrogated.

We ask you to register your disapproval with Allan Rock. You can do it simply. Just visit http://vivelecanada.ca/article.php?s...00310111707274 .

Please do your bit to help save Canada and keep it independent

Sincerely,

Paul Hellyer


Spread it around. Every Canadian should know about this.

More than Canadians should know about that. Everyone should know about that, especially in the US where we hav the Carnivore system.

Isn't data collected from the census freely open to the public anyway? And unless I'm mistaken the data collected is in no way identity specific... :/
