To all:- Sincere apologies for the misuse of a word -- CONFRONT -- whereby I did not mean for anyone to harrass or even say "Why not?" when asking a politician about 1911 census release. The correct word should have been ASK -- and politely, which I did this morning. [I received an unelected YES]. Many thanks for the many who forwarded sites for the new electoral boundaries -- which will only be effective when an election is called. So far, NO call has been made. Members of Parliament and Senators are most likely in their home ridings for the next two weeks, so IF one is interested in census release, why not do the following:- Check constituency office address at http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index6.htm Click on province of choice, then scroll down until you locate YOUR Member of Parliament. By clicking on his/her name at the left, you will locate the message board -- Gordon has posted all known constituency offices. Should there be others or errors, please advise us. Write or type a letter -- YOUR full address and phone number -- your signature must be written -- then put letter in envelope, address to the Member of Parliament. Plan to visit the constituency office for a personal friendly chat and who knows -- the MP may not know YOU desire the 1911 census to be released. Some are not familiar with census release history. If letter is mailed to Ottawa -- NO postage -- send to NAME/House of Commons, Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 How about Letters to the Editors? I will give a complete list tomorrow evening. There are many people who read newspapers but do not use a computer or typewriter. I also promise a sample letter -- Above all, do not CONFRONT any elected representative, but ASK politely -- the old story of using honey instead of acid. Where are the genealogical societies? South Shore Genealogical Society publishes my personal census page address every month http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/post1901census.htm [The page started as Lunenburg County's Canadian Census Campaign] There are many sites there -- scoreboards, editorials, borrow phrases!! Above all, let's get crackin' during the next two weeks!! Please copy us in on any letters or replies to update the scoreboards. Muriel M.
