To all:- Every resident of Canada has not only a Member of Parliament, but an appointed Senator. Have a peek at the following, contact YOUR Senator with polite short requests for support re census release. Check http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Senscore1.htm An added incentive will be the knowledge the first recorded census in Nova Scotia was taken by the Acadian people in 1698, followed by various types, including victualling lists of 1751. [The area of these dates included the area now known as New Brunswick] When writing to YOUR Senator, try using MESSAGE RECEIPT and you will be surprised how many will answer. NO E-MAILS!!!!! Postage is FREE -- or send a FAX -- but contact YOUR Senator There are ONLY two provinces with NO Blue ???? - Manitoba and Nunavut!

Breakdown of the other provinces: British Columbia - 1; Alberta - 2; Saskatchewan - 3; Ontario - 9; Quebec - 17; New Brunswick - 2; Nova Scotia - 3; Prince Edward Island - 1 and Newfoundland - 5 A general reply one receives is "Your letter will be brought to the attention of the Minister/Senator" Should the elected or appointed person receive a Non-Committal bit of Green FENCE for the above reply?????
