Does anyone know how to go about *mass emailing* addresses in the *.ca
(Canada) domain?

It is for a Radio Canada International broadcasting proposal.

URL in question:

The message would have text to cut and paste into a letter to the PM,
External Affairs Minister and Cultural Minister.

At the moment access to mass media in the US or Canada to pass along my
proposal seems to be off -- for probably a myriad of reasons.

The sending of bulk email to any Canadian address is a contravention
under the Direct Marketing Act - I suggest you don't do it.

The .ca domain is for registered corporate companies and government in
Canada, not necessarily all of Canada.

That changed years ago - it's open to any individual Canadian resident as
well.

Ah, the mighty nation of Canada has assiduously protected it citizens from
the evils of mass e-mailings, or so it would appear from some of the
responses to your questions. The same nation seeks to legalize homosexual
marriages, drugs, banned guns of many types, and definitely has legalized
abortion.

It's good to see that our northern neighbors have a handle on what is
important and what isn't. Ah, to be protected from evil mass mailings.
Truly their parliament is on the leading edge of modern values, too bad
they can't prioritize very well. Actually most modern legislators seem to
be nothing more than politically correct shells, devoid of content,
repeating the mantra of whatever will keep them in good with the media.

== I would be happy limiting my [bulk email] proposal to the civil service
(Federal + BC + Sask) ==

At present I am finding access to the mass media almost impossible in Canada
and selectively in the US.
I you have mass media contacts, have them contact me.

I don't have enough money to do the necessary lobbying by other means.
actionnetwork.org has proved totally worthless -- no replies back from my
enquires.

The parts of the Canadian press that I have contacted (from Canada AM to
others) have not responded.

Mass email may be my only hope of getting my message accross.
I must do something...

You do realize that you are talking about massive spamming?

First you start with cross-posting to unrelated groups, and with a
technical question to boot.

That kind of foretells the state of your project.

And of course, in the part I deleted, you've got the usual
paranoia/justification that your message isn't being heard.

You would get tremendous flack if you tried a mass emailing like
this, and likely would lose our internet account.

So there really isn't any point in saying it can't be done.

Also take note that not every ISP in Canada uses the .ca domain.

No, if your message is really important (and usually the importance
goes down as the spamming goes up) you should be looking at
traditional means of reaching the public, such as a letter to a
newspaper, or press releases, or even buying ads.

Fascinating.

Exactly what is this message that you absolutely must get across, to
the point of spamming an entire nation?

Have you tried a registered letter to four places, Industry Canada, CRTC,
CBC HQ and your MP?

Twenty years ago, I made myself a royal PITA with Department of
Communications (now Industry Canada) lobbying for a 1750M experimenters
band in Canada - it was approved in six months!!!! :-)
