...
The purpose of this
letter is thus to solicit your interest and support as we plea

CEUDA
asks FCM to support our call for a
Border Patrol
MAR 15, 2005
Letter
...We
are writing to inform you that we will be corresponding by early
next week at the latest with every municipality in Canada that
is directly on or in close proximity to the US border; namely
municipalities in New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, the three
Prairie Provinces, and British Columbia that are situated along
the border. Other than entertain Late Resolutions at its
upcoming Convention, is there anything the FCM could do to
support our call for a Canadian Border Patrol?
