Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2002 10:06 AM To: David P. Smith, Senator Subject: How do you plan on voting this important issue? A simple "YES" or 'NO" will suffice. I would like to know how you stand on the Release of the Post 1901 Historic Census? You have never declared yourself in regards to this extremely important issue. Many of us that are concerned about our Canadian history, fear that it will all be lost due to some poor decisions made by our short sighted politicians. I would like to know if you are just another politician that is spouting the "privacy" rhetoric. Besides whose privacy are you trying to secure? IT CERTAINLY CAN'T BE A MAN 87 YEARS OLD MAN (who is my father) BECAUSE HE WASN'T EVEN BORN IN 1911. There really isn't any logic in the present thought process of destroying our history. This is OUR heritage....it belongs to ALL Canadian people who built this country and no one should deny us our links to OUR OWN PAST! Remember that we judge the greatness of past civilizations by the written records left for posterity and condemn those countries as 'backwards' that have left nothing for history. Please tell me in what category will Canada be recognized for in generations to come? Present and future genealogists, and those that are unborn, are relying on our good judgment and our insistence to save our history. We must not disappoint ALL future generations of Canadians. PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR FELLOW CANADIANS......SAVE THE POST 1901 CANADIAN CENSUS FOR ALL FUTURE GENERATIONS! Adele J. Turner North Vancouver, BC 09/01/2002 - email to Senator David Smith from Muriel M. Davidson.
To: David Smith, Senator Sent: Sunday, September 01, 2002 9:30 AM Subject: Welcome to the Senator's Scoreboard To the Hon. David P. Smith, Senator:- I notice you have replaced The Hon. James Tunney as one of Ontario's Senators. My hope is that you will also have kept the 100% SUPPORT of Senator Lorna Milne's S-12 Bill re Post-1901 Canada Census Records Release. To view your personal message centre on the scoreboard http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Senscore2.htm#ONT You will notice you have a BLUE ? -- meaning NO REPLY. A very good article re the problem appeared in Toronto Star http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/1906census.html The 1906 census SHOULD have been released in 1998. In addition to this, there are many researching Home Children. The period of 1860 to 1930 included about 100,000 children sent from England to Canada -- about 25,000 now known. Will you support Senator Milne's Bill S-12 at all times, mainly any vote in the Senate? Let's keep the GOLD tick earned by Senator James Tunney. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee 25 Crestview Avenue, Brampton, ON L6W 2R8 http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Farm/7843/poll.html 06/25/2002 David P.
