Hi List, How about hands across the bridge at Niagara Falls. We could have the American side with happy faces and an enlargement of the 1930 census and we on the Canadian side could have sad faces with an enlargement of the next census do out with a large red X thru it, plus any placards that would fit our situtation. Will get Gordon a red wig and fly him in and he can play William Lyon MacKenzie, leader of the Canada Rebellion of 2003, or we could march down Yonge St. at the point where MONTGOMERY'S TAVERN used to be headquarters of William Lyon MacKenzie, leader of the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837, and scene of the brief skirmish in which, on 7 December 1837, the rebels were overcome by a force of militia commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel James Fitzgibbon. Though unsuccessful in its primary objective, the uprising, by forcing the issue of unrequited grievances against the dominant "Family Compact", contributed significantly to the legislative union of Upper and Lower Canada in 1841 and to the establishment in Canada of RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT.

Wayne, What a great idea. How about instead of a red "x" we draw big black lines of censorship on the census form? And perhaps the Canadian protesters could dress all in black and carry a mock coffin (designed like a filing cabinet?) to symbolize the death of historical research in Canada. That might get some media attention :) Happy Victoria Day, everybody! Mary Anne ----------------- FindersKeepers Specializing in Nova Scotia Books, History & Genealogy in or out of print.
