[news] 2006 Canadian Census and National Missile Defence - Two Stones in the Same Swamp

[Resist!ca]

Roy Whyte CDM Oct 11 2004 Word has come down this week that Lockheed Martin will help conduct the 2006 Canadian census through a Canadian subsidiary. Lockheed Martin is o­ne of the worlds leading arms manufactures and a close supporter of the Bush government. From the Lockheed Martin website, "We never forget who we're working for." That certainly is neither Canada nor Canadian citizens; it is the U.S. government. Lockheed Martin is also a big player o­n the national missile defence scheme as put forward by the Bush government. Currently the federal Liberal party is seeing itself divided over this issue, as the Martin camp wants to press ahead by any means necessary so that they may curry favour with Washington. Some Liberal MP's are instead actually listening to the Canadian populace and voicing their opposition to the move to join the United States in the destabilizing act of national missile defence.
