<p>Here's my short little letter I sent to passport Canada. They will most likely find the letter a little odd. <p><i>Once I fill out this passport form, does that make my personal information (all data) available to the U.S government or any U.S government agencies? If so I refuse to fill out this form, and hand over my information to a country I don't vote in and live in. Different human right laws in the U.S. They should not have access to Canadian citizen's personal information. I would like to have a signed letter saying that my information will never be handed over to U.S government agencies.</i>

Haha.. that's brilliant, Kevin. Hmm, since I'm planning on boycotting the census anyways, I think I'll send a letter and demand a signed letter from.. umm.. the head of Stats Can or whoever does the census, and also from someone no lower than a Federal Minister. THEN I'll partake in the census haha

Kory,

I just realized that the passport forms I had got from the post office a while back, so they were not actually sent to me. Either way my questions and concerns are still valid.

Good work Kevin, be a thorn in the side for the government. Kory, Im liking your idea about writing a letter for the census, Im going to do that as well. If we get enough people doing that they may notice.

[Kory Yamashita]

Plus it might draw their attention to the fact that I'm not partaking in it. Maybe they'll try to press charges. That'd be great; it'd give me a real voice. People would listen, I think. And if I do succeed in getting the signatures, I can press charges when the US gets control of the information.

Kory, I think your idea is good, but I doubt that you will ever really know or be able to prove the U.S. has your info-

[Reverend Blair]

Probably a safe bet to assume that they do, or at least can get it if they want it.

i've had my passport since i was like 12, and before that, i had a joint passport with my mother, so i dont have this problem.

[KevinGagnon]

Shid,

Do you think U.S authorities have access to your personal information(passport) ?

Kevin

[Shid87]

i dont think they have direct access. Although, if they asked the canadian government, they would probobly give it up freely as long as they have a reason. Hey, im no terrorist, i dont really mind, but are we losing our rights this way?
