Message To Canadians And Their Governments

WE THE JAMES BAY CREES HAVE VOTED *NO* TO SEPARATION FROM CANADA

WE ASK CANADIANS to uphold the Canadian Constitution, our treaty and fundamental human rights, and the rule of law.

WE ASK CANADIANS to support our right to remain, with our traditional territory and its hydroelectric and other natural resources, in Canada.

We Ask That You Contact Your MP and MPP Urgently

Our book SOVEREIGN INJUSTICE: FORCIBLE INCLUSION OF THE JAMES BAY CREE AND CREE TERRITORY INTO A SOVEREIGN QUEBEC is now available in Coles, SmithBooks, University and other selected bookstores across Canada. "This may be *the* seminal book of the [Quebec] Referendum" - OTTAWA CITIZEN, 16 October, 1995.

[Please *assist* the Cree and Native peoples of Canada by re-posting this Appeal *quickly and widely* to Internet Newsgroups, Conferences, and mailing lists. THE QUEBEC REFERENDUM, which will *vitally* affect the future and fortunes of the Cree and Indian Nations, is *next Monday* - October 30th! Over 96% of the Cree have voted in their *own* Referendum recently to stay with Canada - Quebec has *denied* them this *in advance*]

For information on the GRAND CANAL CORPORATION, and the *real* story behind the current separatist crisis in Quebec, which involves the private acquisition at bankruptcy prices of James Bay water and hydro facilities from the Cree after Quebec has separated and BILLIONS of dollars in profits from fresh-water exports to the U.S. and Mexico, contact Shelley Ann Clark or Glen Kealey at THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE FOR POLITICAL INTEGRITY at [819] 778 1705 [fax: 613-747 1644] Journalists and radio-talk show hosts are encouraged to contact them for both backgrounds and updates.
