Hi Ron and All, I don't know the names of all newspapers in Canada. If anyone would care to mail it to their newpapers by all means go ahead. The reason I choose the National Post was because it was their paper that I read about the Canada History Centre. My own paper the Cape Breton Post didn't even mention it. I have discovered newspapers don't seem to publish much information on the Canada Census Campaign issue. Nor have I read in the 'Letters to the Editor' column letters written about this issue. Least not the papers I read. If there is anything it seems to be buried do deep in the paper, you are lucky to find it. I have an idea, "Why don't the list members compose their own open letter to the Prime Minister." Send it to the National Post <[email protected]>. Don't forget to send it also to the Prime Minister <[email protected]> Maybe if they got enough letters on the it... they might finally realize that there is a great deal of interest in the subject. I am not just referring to the genealogical/hitorical community. I have spoken to many people and many of them have the same impression that the records that the government has gathered belong to the people of Canada including our census records. It is just a thought, 'Greig Neiman' in Jan. 2003 sure sat up and took notice when we wrote to him. Maybe the National Post would do the same.
