Canada to Employ Lockheed for Census
U.S. weapons giant Lockheed Martin has signed a multi-million dollar deal to play a key role in the collection of data for the 2006 census. One of the world's largest weapons manufacturers, Lockheed Martin will have access to confidential information of Canadian citizens, which has privacy activists up in arms. The Council of Canadians is calling on citizens to join its demand that the federal government immediately cancel its contract with Lockheed Martin, and that Statistics Canada be given the funding and capacity to fully carry out an activity as important as the Canadian census.
