Sorry -- no mention in any of the issues I have read. My apologies -- guess the printer's ink disappeared from my veins! I read many online newspapers -- that could be my problem -- my favorite, of course, is the Halifax Herald, where I worked. Do not worry about Fellegi -- he is likely on "????" HIT LIST. I am hoping there will be scrutiny of all -- we pay their salaries. Thank heaven we have some Members of Parliament who are not afraid of being "sacked" by the PMO -- where there is too much power. Muriel M. Davidson ----- Original Message ----- Hi Muriel, In your message on the CCC list today you state that: "The Toronto Star, of which Radwanski was editor-in-chief, is FINALLY printing the story. However, much more in Toronto Sun, especially George Weston's column from the Ottawa Bureau". You must not have been regularly reading the Toronto Star during the past two weeks, Muriel. The Toronto Star has covered the Radwanski affair in great detail in practically every single issue of the paper since the beginning of June. In some cases, the Toronto Star has had several articles in each day's paper and were actually the first newspaper in Canada to devote full cover the story. The Toronto Star even had the Radwanski story on the front page several times during the past few days. How could you possibly miss the extensive and continuing coverage that the Star has given to this story? Your statement that the Toronto Star is FINALLY printing the Radwanski story today is simply NOT TRUE at all! Your message subtly implies that just because Mr. Radwanski was previously an editor-in-chief at the Toronto Star, the paper has been trying to bury the story. But that is definitely not the case. In fact, having read all the articles that have appeared in the Star over the past couple of weeks, I have actually got the distinct impression that the reporters at the Star and their Ottawa bureau have been inciting public opinion AGAINST Mr. Radwanski. I have a strong impression that many people at the Toronto Star [especially those who worked with him in the past] don't like Mr. Radwanski very much and are quite gleeful to witness his self-initiated and long-overdue demise from the public scene. Are you by any chance a regular reader of the Toronto Sun, but not a subscriber to the Toronto Star, Muriel? For what it's worth, my own personal opinion is that the Toronto Star is a much more newsworthy, accurate, reliable, higher-quality and credible source of information than the more sensationalistic, tabloid-style editorial "fluff" that appears in the Sun. In any case, Muriel, I hope that you will keep an open mind about the news coverage that appears in the Toronto Star and give them their due credit for being the first paper to bring the Radwanski investigation under public attention and scrutiny. Now that Mr. Radwanski has thankfully been deposed from his throne, we need to find a way to similarly eradicate Dr. Ivan Feligi from his own personal fiefdom at Statistics Canada. Like that scoundrel Radwanski, Feligi has needlessly squandered public funds on useless research studies and opinion polls, tried to deceive government officials and the Canadian public with untruthful and deceptive statements, and flagrantly defied parliament by refusing to execute his sworn duties and responsibilities as laid down by law. Dr. Feligi might be a Civil Servant, but he is certainly neither civil nor a servant of the public trust. It's time to turn our collective attention now to the task of bringing down Dr. Feligi and his co-conspirators at Statistics Canada. D. Garnett --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

All of us hoping and waiting for release of the Canadian census, especially the 1911 on June 1, 2003 know that Radwanski was one of the negative players re non-release. The following may be forwarded to YOUR Members of Parliament; as I have done -- see above. Muriel M. Davidson [email protected] =============================== WATCHDOG SPENDING IN A FOG Radwanski tale not surprising by Alexander Oanetta The Canadian Press OTTAWA--Beyond the reach of virtually any scrutiny, insulated from oversight by creaky bureaucratic bafflegab, it is a wonder anyone learned of George Radwanski's predilection for the posh on the taxpayers' ticket. The extent of the privacy commissioner's opulent work habits might never have come to light but for the less-than-dogged pursuit of a Liberal MP. And that raises the question. In a system designed to protect the public's watchdogs, just who's watching the watchdogs? In this case, it was Ontario MP John Bryden, but he wasn't exactly hounding his quarry when he requested the personal expenses. "They sat on the table in my office for several weeks before I got to them," Bryden said. Radwanski is one of a select few charges of Parliament whose job of monitoring the actions of parliamentarians requires that legislators' power of perusal over him be strictly limited. $300Gs on trips Many of those parliamentarians are now accusing Radwanski of using his position to cloak expenses from his dinner patron: The Canadian taxpayer. Radwanski and his assistant spent $300,000 on seven trips abroad last year, but totalling the exact tally became a fame of trying to crack a system designed to keep secrets. The privacy commissioner's expenses are published in the annual spending estimates, but consist of a nebulous eight-line column that wouldn't raise eyebrows. Fog Spreads Those figures point to a $12.4-million overall budget, but without itemized mention of hospitality. That kind of foggy accounting isn't limited to Radwanski's office. Critics complain that secrets start from the moment Parliament's top watchdogs are chosen. Officers of Parliament -- the chief electoral officer, official languages commissioner, auditor general, information commissioner and privacy commissioner -- are picked by the Prime Minister's Office without public consultation. When Radwanski was hired in 2000, a public hearing might have unearthed the fact that he'd just been excused for nearly $600,000 in tax debt to Revenus Canada. Credibility might also benefit from more transparent disclosure guidelines. Watchdogs aren't subject to regular audits, with only the auritors general required to forward expense logs to an independent accountant each year. And citizens who want to get detailed expenses are out of luck. The Access to Information Act does not apply to Officers of Parliament. "This just cries out for Access to Information reform," Bryden said. ============== --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Well, this was a piece of good news. I wonder how the government ever let it get passed? This COULD give us some protection if the regulations set up under S-13 are too onerous. At least there is now a method to protest regulations, and perhaps get them changed. It isn't the law I worry so much about, its how that law is administered. The administration has always been determined by faceless bureaucrats, but no longer. A wonderful day indeed!

This article appeared in the National Post today and was picked up by various other newspapers. It seems we might now have some protection in the drawing up of the regulation that goes along with Bill S-13. http://www.nationalpost.com/national/story.html?id=A1DA5D7C-82E8-4F79-B19F-5F920F19EDCA Sorry - in some cases the address may wrap onto two lines.

To all:- Radwanski is one of the ones with whom we have had to deal -- or at least he found the UNFINDABLE LAW that prevented release of census without court ruling. Yesterday's Toronto Sun Pages 4 and 5 will be part of my paper data when I attempt to have Revenue Canada forgive all or part of my husband's "supposed" tax debt. On a total pension income, before deductions, of $16,500, this veteran at Sunnybrook is supposed to pay $530.20. Needless to say -- I have NO sympathy for Radwanski, a former newspaper editor, who "got away with it" to date. He also did not desire the Sun to print the story. See DEAL OK on Page 1 of Toronto Sun, also http://www.canoe.ca/Columnists/robinson.html Many thanks to John Bryden, MP for uncovering this story. Muriel M.

Hi Muriel - We need a laugh this morning - on the whole The Sun seems to have more in depth coverage of the issue than the CanWest papers. There is a marvellous column in the Calgary Herald (National Post) today by Don Martin - a whole new segment for the next publication of the Canadian Dictionary. A couple are - Radwanskiing occurs when MP's rip through a paper blizzard to find a snow job; Radwanskism - a religion where senior officials believe the taxpayer collection plate is theirs to endlessly empty without guilt, remorse or justification. I wonder how much of this sort of stuff could be dug about the head of Stats Canada - for instance who pays for his overseas trips to try to convince other countries to shut the door on census information - if he is invited the host should pay - if he is butting in then we pay? Revenue Canada has never offered to reduce my tax either, in spite of getting hit hard a couple of years ago because I had to use RIFF money to remodel my kitchen so I could function in it. Over the income limit for any government handout. Sometimes I wish we had gone on holidays instead of putting the money into RRSP's.

Apologies to all -- I hit SEND before I finished the memo!! The latest column by Gordon Watts is found at http://globalgenealogy.com/globalgazette/gazce/gazce96.htm Should you only be interested AT PRESENT in Access to Information, the following is a suggested statement:- 'As a family historian and genealogist I have a requirement to view and obtain information regarding my ancestors from Historic Census Records. The Privacy Act of Canada, and Regulations attached thereto provide that information from Census may be made available to any person or body, for purposes of research, 92 years after collection. This message is to be considered my Request, under the Access to Information Act, for access to schedules of the 1911 National Census of Canada. Thank you.' Do not bother completing either 'method of access preferred'. There is every expectation that each request made will be denied so to choose one of these would serve no purpose. The rest of the form is self-explanatory - simply your personal information including address etc., your signature and the date. There is a $5.00 charge for making a request under Access to Information. Enclose a check made out to the Receiver General of Canada with your request. Statistics Canada is required to respond within 30 days of receipt of an ATI request. It is expected that all requests made for the 1911 Census records will be refused. Based on past performance, Statistics Canada will not refund the $5.00 payment if the request is refused. Mail your request to: Pamela White, ATIP Coordinator Statistics Canada R.H.

To all:- I know it will cost $5.00 Canadian, the applicant must be Canadian and have a Canadian address, but it could be one way of obtaining release of the 1911 census, at least. Do NOT quote family search names, just be general -- as searches cost a total of $48.15, including GST.

Many thanks for the reply, Jason! I agree, there is NO way a conscientious Member of Parliament could vote YES for Bill S-13 in its present form. Senator Lorna Milne is hopeful of positive action in the House, which was not received in the Senate. I jokingly suggested to Gordon Watts we should change the colour of YES -- without restrictions -- from GOLD to possibly PURPLE. Tell your grandfather, Mart Kenney, you might be a "purple person"!

This is an issue that I feel strongly about, and I appreciate your input. I agree with your assessment of the bill in that the new regulations will make it unreasonably difficult for historians and genealogists to access the records. As well, the additional bureaucracy and costs that would be instituted by Bill S-13 are unnecessary and wasteful. As a result, I intend to vote against this bill unless proper amendments are made. Thank-you again for writing to me on this important issue. Yours sincerely, Jason Kenney, MP, Calgary Southeast JTK/yr -------- From: Muriel M.

Removal of Clause 8 -- the supposed "informed consent" clause. With the restrictions, a census form with NO mark would be regarded as NEGATIVE -- information never to be released. 2. Removal of all restrictions or conditions for access for at least the 1911 and 1916 census -- hopefully for all census records. 3. Removal of the "twenty-year" period during which only partial or "tombstone" information may be disclosed -- also the need to commit to an "undertaking" regarding the partial disclosure. The amendments, if passed, would make the 1911, 1916 and later census records without restrictions, same as for 1901 and 1906.

Good Morning Muriel, In my small way I try to help when someone has a question that I feel I may be able to answer. Eileen posted a test message to the list because she had not been receiving CCC mail and was wondering why. I decided to check the mail list archive and sent her the note about the number of messages that did appear at the archive site and the date of the last message shown in the Archive. I posted to the list as well - since we sometimes forget that messages posted to the Rootsweb Mail lists - are archived and can be searched at any time. I did notice that one message that you sent to me as well as well as to the CCC mail list did not appear on the list or in the archive. I was not aware that other messages may not have come through to the list as well. We do sometimes have a slowdown in mail received. I did receive my copy of the message of the that you sent. I hope that the information /suggestions that Mike sent to - helped resolve the situation with Bell and Sympatico.and there will not be any further problems in the future. If there is a further problem - I am sure that Mike will attempt to be of help to you. I seem to recall previous problems that you have had with a service ,although I can't remember which. You mentioned in you e mail to Eileen that your messages were rejected by the CCC list because of possibly One person. Has this person been advised that there may be a problem. Contacting them and letting them know that they may be the source of a problem , would allow them to at least attempt to rectify the situation. I know that Mike would try to assist if needed. I am sure that he would permit you to forward the information that he sent to you, although it might be correct to ask. Hope all is now resolved. Cheers, Stella At 11:22 AM 6/19/03 -0400, Muriel M.

http://www.afhs.ab.ca/data/census/1906/index.html Some of the 1906 volunteer transcribers are keeping busy over the summer and new volunteers are always welcome. Nearly 40% of Alberta names were transcribed between Feb 1 and May 25, 2003. More sub-districts have been finished and posted as PDF files in the last few weeks. Around 10% of Saskatchewan and Manitoba names have been transcribed. An interesting family group has been identified as a possible example for discussion with the local member of parliament to show how researchers use the country of origin to sort out groups of people with common surnames. Biggest surprise to me was the number of families that had parents born in Canada, a few children born in the US and then more children born after the move to western Canada. Local histories are mostly about family groups that stayed on the family farms for several generations. Census records show "who lived where" in each year there was a census. Several households for a common surname from Scotland settled in the 1880s and are related according to the local history. Later arrivals from England may not be related even though the surname is the same. Online newspaper articles about the 1906, 1911 and other census years have been collected as found. One article stated nearly 2 million immigrants arrived in Canada between 1901 and 1911. Begin now to collect maps and local history that will help locate households in the 1911 census. For the city of Edmonton, it is helpful to have a list of the street names used prior to street numbers after the change in 1914. One of the finding aids is a list of post offices for some of the 1906 census districts with names of post offices opened later as more land was settled. -- Elizabeth
