<< followed Harry Needham(?)'s suggestion visit the Canadian War Museum
site and found that I could not get past the initial welcome and so forth
without "becoming a member." This involves no money but requires you
to fill out a long questionnaire giving one's age, education, income, mail
address, phone numbers, household income and I don't know what-all.
I just signed off, but I was quite irritated by such presumptive
intrusiveness. Do Canadian public institutions routinely demand such
personal information? Do Canadian citizens routinely submit to such
impertinence? >>
This is known as marketing research, to label it 'nosiness' and to assign
this action to a people of another country is inexperienced at best and
impertinent at worse.
