Using a very historic contact in the world of Canadian federal politics, I may have started some action towards making the online charts in Canada available for free. (Following in the footsteps of NZ & the US - who have their charts free online.) It may still take a minor political miracle - but hey, it's worth a shot, eh? It has been suggested that an email to the MP in Victoria - Denise Savoie - at Savoie.D_at_parl.gc.ca might be timely by members of the Canadian kayaking world, to say it's a good idea and why. So get in there and make a case... Gary's 2008 correspondence with G. Lunn (MP) & G. Shea (MP) has already reached Denise - so she will be aware of the bones of the discussion. Note that Denise is Deputy Speaker of the House - and a kayak enthusiast - but doesn't know me from a bar of soap ;-) Best Regards Paul Hayward, Auckland, New Zealand *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
