From: "John Halonen"
Thank the "Stars".
I for one was very thankful that the Conservatives under "Stephen Harper" failed to reach a majority.
38% of those voters who voted Conservative should not be allowed to rule the other 62%.
Perhaps a coalition should be reached between the Liberals, NDP and Quebecois to lead the majority of Canadians, but
would it be possible to have these leaders and their parties put the best interests of Canada first?

Probabilities nil.

Subject: Time to bury the gun law
To the Winnipeg Sun;
To the editor;
From R. Moreau (416-489-8347)
A story;
Back in the days when the cost of the Canadian gun registry hit 2 billion dollars , it was being run by EDS of Houston Texas , because Nafta says , 'thou shalt not discriminate against foreign, American, corporations, and our M.P.'s had been infiltrated by corporate moles to make sure they would abide by NAFTA, and they even gave our census work to the 'neighbours, some one in the government woke up.
Realizing how stupid it was to put the locations of almost
every personal gun in Canada and the owners name and hiding place, they said 'hey, this is nuts' and sought a Canadian company to do the work, CGI and BDP Data of Montreal were chosen. Of course, the yanks, through Resolve corporation, of Cleveland in a short time, bought BDP!
Result; U.S.ian corporations still control the Canadian gun registry, and if you write a letter like this, Echelon will intercept it and make sure it doesn't circulate too much.
Some say this is considered anti-American by those who tell the editors to ignore these letters and never print them. It IS ANTI-CORPORATE, but not anti-American people.
Food for thought.

Is CGI Canadian?
