    3. Jim and others wanting to write letters: Make up your own letters! Use your own words. Don't send a form letter. They are ignored, to a large degree. Instead of doing that, speak your own piece. Tell them what this bill does, and why YOU, as a Canadian, oppose it. Don't worry about whether or not your language is perfect, or if you might offend someone. Remember, everybody played nice all along. The result was this horrible excuse of a bill, that is being rammed down our throats. If you want to write a letter to a friend, do you use someone elses format? If you wrote to your brother, would you want to see how someone else wrote to their brother? Hell no, you would just write. That's exactly what every single person out there should do, write to the editor of their local newspaper, TV, radio station, MP, Senator, etc. It costs you nothing to write to MP's, not a dime. I've sent out dozens of letters, at 65 cents or more each. If I could send them free, it would be in the hundreds. Don't talk about it, don't ask if it's the nice thing to do. If you wait, it will be too late. That's what the Government expects (and unfortunately, it's probably what will actually happen). If this bill passes, it is because Canadians let it happen. ===== Lynton (Bill) Stewart A former dual Canadian and U.S. Citizen, who's Canadian Citizenship was automatically stripped away without any notice, due to the fact that I was born prior to 1947. My siblings born after that date get to resume their Canadian Citizenship. I do not have that same right. Searching for Moore, McLennan, Peers, Stewart, Thompson in NS;. Black, Foulds, Johnston and Stewart in MB; Provorse, Wright in ON, and Black, Foulds & Stewart in SK & BC.
