Conservatives Rerun New Year Card Issue

Fresh off the controversy involving Jewish New Year cards, yesterday I received an email from a reader angry over having received a Chinese New Year card from Prime Minister Stephen Harper.  The same privacy issues again come to the fore – the person is not Chinese and is upset that the Conservatives apparently have a database that makes assumptions about people based on name or address.

    He just doesn’t want to learn from past errors…or see them as errors, for that matter.

  2. A government that doesn’t take ‘spamming’ as a serious problem.

    I just got something from Layton’s office. Have not opened it but is this really a privacy issue? I can see a point abaout making assumptions but is it really privacy? I been getting cards from politician’s for years. Some I voted for, some I did not.
