Subject: Advisory: Canada's Census & Lockheed Martin

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
