To the following:- Senator Douglas Roche -- Alberta Senator Lowell Murray -- Ontario Senator Yves Morin - Quebec Senator Noel A. Kinsella - New Brunswick Senator Gerald Comeau -- Nova Scotia http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Senscore1.htm Check the above URL, click on your various provinces and you will find the glaring RED X for all to see -- your personal message boards do not state very much. Personally, knowing there might be problems after the 1901 census, I have been working for release of the 1911 and later census records since late 1980s. Very possibly many are familiar with the Canada Census Committee a group of Canadians and also Americans working for release of the records. The reasons vary -- lost family members, genetically inherited diseases, Home Children -- I could give you several more. None of the more than 7.5 million researchers in Canada are doing this for public and profitable gain. Families have separated over the years, addresses become lost -- plus we have marriages and deaths. The Canada Census Committee members will be very happy to leave your personal glaring RED X for all to note -- IF logical reasons WHY you feel the census should not be released. During this past summer, members of the Acadian communities in Nova Scotia celebrated -- my home community was founded in 1603 before Port Royal so I am justly proud. The CBC will air a two-hour show tomorrow evening at 7 PM EST -- should you watch this show, you might understand why heritage is valuable. I will be looking forward to YOUR personal answers -- when these are received, Gordon Watts will post them on your message board. Sincerely, Muriel M.

Good morning; I have been preoccupied lately but I am collecting signatures on the new petition forms and writing letters. I have not yet received an acknowledgement either to my e-mail or my letter to the new Minister of Industry. I plan to write the new Minister of Canadian Heritage responsible for the National Archives, Liza Frulla, today. With respect to Senator Lowell "to hell with these historians" Murray; while he nominally represents Ontario, I regret to remind list members that he is Nova Scotia born and bred and while our elected Bluenose Members of Parliament may all have gold ticks, Mr. Murray represents a formidable and efficacious opponent of public census release. From his public biography available on-line at http://www.parl.gc.ca/english/senate/bio-e/murr-e.htm Hon. Senator Murray was born in New Waterford, Nova Scotia on 26 Sept 1936. He maintains a summer residence in Cape Breton and I vaguely recall an editorial he wrote that was published in the provincial daily during the federal election last June basically condemning the newly minted Conservative Party. My point, as I am beginning to wander here, is that as a former Progressive Conservative and apparently not comfortable with the Reform/Alliance merger, he is at least consistent in that the Canadian Alliance Party supported public census release. Letters alone I am afraid will not change this leopard's spots, one can only look forward to his retirement from the Senate at age 75, which will be in 2011 if his published date of birth is accurate. Regards, Leland Harvie Halifax, Nova Scotia Bonjour: J'ai été préoccupé mais je rassemble des signatures sur les nouvelles formes de pétition et écris des lettres. Je n'ai pas encore reçu une reconnaissance à mon courriel ou à ma lettre au ministre de l'industrie. J'écrira le nouveau ministre de l'héritage canadien responsable des archives nationales, Liza Frulla, aujourd'hui. Au sujet du sénateur Lowell "à l'enfer avec ces historians" Murray; tandis qu'il représente nominalement Ontario, je regrette de rappeler des membres de liste qu'il est nè en Nouvelle-Écosse. Tous nos parlementaires 'Bluenose' élue peuvent avoir des médaille d'or, mais M. Murray représente un adversaire formidable et efficace de dégagement public de recensement. De sa biographie publique disponible en ligne à http://www.parl.gc.ca/english/senate/bio-f/murr-f.htm Hon. le sénateur Murray est né à New Waterford, Nouvelle-Écosse le 26 Septembre 1936. Il maintient une maison d'été en Cape Breton et je rappelle un éditorial qu'il a écrit dans le journal provincial pendant l'élection fédérale contre la Parti conservateur du Canada result de la fusion de Reform/Alliance. La parti alliance a soutenu le dégagement public de recensement. J'ai peur qu'il faut attendre sa retraite du sénat qui sera en 2011 si son date de naissance est précise. Salut...
