What is that below?
It is a record of Canada's Privy Council Office visiting the site. Now they do that periodically especially if there is any talk about separation - but this time it's different. This time they are up reviewing the MAP FLAP story.
The reason I am posting this is because I emailed Rona Ambrose last Friday. Ambrose is the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and President of the Privy Council. My correspondence related to the fraudulent maps being distributed by the Government of Quebec. Please read a copy of the letter at the end of this post.
Problem is - Ambrose has not responded to the email and her office will not even provide me with acknowledgement of receipt. What's the big deal Minister? Simply answer the question I posed. Currently I am a citizen of Canada.

Here's the letter:
July 20 - 07
Rona Ambrose
Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs
President of the Privy Council
Government Of Canada
Dear Minister,
I am writing to you as a citizen of Canada and of Newfoundland and Labrador. It has come to my attention now on many occasions that official maps of the Government of Quebec represent a false border between Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec. These maps are being widely distributed by the Tourism Quebec - Natural Resources Quebec - Transport Quebec - Elections Quebec - and even by Hydro-Quebec a Crown Corporation.
Could you please investigate why this is occurring as the borders between the two provinces were established in 1927 by the Privy Council and accepted by Canada - and further acknowledged at the time of Newfoundland and Labrador's entry into Canada in 1949.
If one lives in Quebec or in Newfoundland and Labrador they should be able to view maps of provinces and of the country that represent proper borders. Further I have noticed documents filed by Hydro-Quebec with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans that ignore the correct boundaries of the provinces.
What can the Federal Government do to correct this situation?
I look forward to your earliest reply.
Best Regards,
Sue Kelland-Dyer

Dont hold your breath Sue.Like everything else ,Newfoundland and Labrador is here to be destroyed by Canada.
Like for excample our religious based education system.Considered at the time to be an excellent machine for the Province.Until we were told by Ottawa to replace it.Why.Because it went agaisnt the UN charter of rights and freedoms.
So ,like good canadains we lived up to what it is ,to be Canadain and replaced it.
Nothing to complain or say something negitive there right,Sue.
Well lets look at what is going on in Ontario thease days.Appartently,now that we have re-placed our system ,Ontario's PC party is running on the plat-form that ever single minority group in Ontario has the right to thier own private religious education system,and yes,its us the tax payer that has to shove the bill.
So what does this have to do with Newfoundland and Labrador ,one might say.
Well,first how much did it cost us to replace that religious based school system,and two if we had to get rid of it because it was wrong, why is Ontario being allowed to move forward with its plans after Newfoundland and labrador was told "NO".
I thought Sue that i would put this excample forward.
I know its off topic and I relise it has nothing to do with what your writing about here ,but I just had to point out the differances in treatment between thease two Provinces.Until we start to see the little things ,we really dont deserve to talk about the big issues.
Just another excample I guess of a Two-tier Governement system that canada has .What might be right for some ,might not be right for all.What a joke of a country .
The referendum was a sham calvin.
Calvin, when did Ottawa "tell us" to do that? Can you point to some document or decision? Did two, count'em TWO provincial referendums on the subject play no part whatsoever in those constitutional amendments? And what are these "plans" that Ontario is "allowed to move forward with"?

Just like Canada may i add.And as for my last post Sue ,could you please not post it.
Of course not not WJM,yes it was all our fault.Like the churchhill is all Newfoundlands fault.So was the fishery .So was the off-shore Oil.So was Voisys bay.
Its been us along.What can you expect right,from a bunch of Newfies.
Cmon buddy ,go preach to those that want to waste thier time and talk to you about your pathetic false prophets.Ottawa.
Im not going to waste my time debating confederation or anything else with a federalist .So go ahead and write your brains out telling me how great your country is buddy.
Propaganda .Thats what your here to spread .Propaganda.
There is no doubt that something else is at play with WJM - even Quebecers and Ontario who get the works under our system do not defend Ottawa so much.
There will always be those in our lives that say no you can't - remember what in the end they offer. Nothing! And they would like you and I to do the same.
Calvin, what did Ottawa do WRT "Voisys bay", other than subsidize it to get the project up and running?
Sue, I don't defend "Ottawa", I defend truth and rationality.
Sue it Kills them to see the result of all those bad Government decisions speaking thier minds.
WJM - I have seen enough from your commentaries to know that does not cut it.
You are irrationally focussed on me and my comments despite my support for Labrador. In fact I am waiting to see you go at some federal members for what has been done to the region.
Your questionning of a blogger - who does not work in a political office - as you do - is a problem in and of itself.
Once again you have been successful in wasting too much of my time - for reasons you will not reveal.
Sue it's called keeping tabs on those the Federal Governement wish to monitor.
If anyone thinks that the propaganda machine and the Department Of Public Safety do not work together then i think that they all need a big wake-up call.
As for how Newfoundland and Labrador is treated by canada ,well I do not need to continuously kick a dead horse,like most.Sure we have gained much from confederation,but who are the real winners in this arranged marriage.It sure isn't poor Newfoundland and Labrador.But Sue what really kills me is the fact that thease voices that say they fight for Labrador ,and champion Ottawa's call ,love to blame Danny Williams and the provincail governement for all they're problems .
No money for highways ,no money for this ,none for that and then turn around to blame the provincal governement for all thier problems.But,what really kills me Sue,is the fact that 90% of thease folks continue to vote Liberial and fall to thier knees when canada comes calling.
We are starting to wake-up as we watch our children leave,and the out-ports run dry.We start to see the true benefits of fedralisam,and what it is to be canadain.I fear we have only ourselves to blame for what is happening to our home..
I'm not quite sure why you are interested in this issue. The Quebec/Labrador border has been decided,by Charter, in the 20's and reaffirmed in by the Court in 1948.
Quebec can include PEI, St Pierre, or any other place they want. The contentions of the Quebec map makers mean diddly squat!!
If I was the Federal Minister I too would not bother answering your letter.
Stop your fear mongering and let your readers know that these maps are only as good as the paper they are written on!!!
It already has on the Romaine development.
Further Canadian mpas should be consistent.
Sue, WJM did not acquire the tag "Ottawally" because he is a defender of "truth and rationality". He didn't get the tag because he is a defender of Labrador (a respectable trait). He is Ottawally for exactly the reason you said. Despite a writer's support for Labrador, despite her advocating as an individual without political gain. Despite that, Ottawally defends where his pay cheque comes from. He sucks the teat of Ottawa and condemns the rest of us as beggers of the federal wallet.
His style of rhetoric and childish re-questioning of any statement gets old really quick.
Sue your writing is providing a service to this province. Agree or disagree your point of view is appreciated. Keep up the fight.
Hey guys if he is such the defender of the Labrador like bnb is saying then I guess that WJM wont mind it when Ottawa allows Quebec to flood parts of Labrador for Quebecs gain.
And for good mesure,i guess that Labrador doesnt need to develop the Lower ChurchHill now because there wont be a transmission line thru Quebec.
But hey dont worry WJm,canada will come to the rescue and build you a highway ,OK.They will do that as they suck resource ,after resource ,after resource out of Labraador ,and you want to know something bud.You MIGHT get your highway built when there is nothing left but coast line and empty promises.Then Labrador will be just as big and empty as Newfoundland.
Fool me once ,shame on you .Fool me twice ,shame on ME.
