[quote:Canuck NLI 33162758:MV8yMTQ2NDY3XzM2MjYxNjg3X0YxN0UxQTlB] [quote:madmanNS 34826624:MV8yMTQ2NDY3XzM2MjYxNDAzXzNENEU4MEU1] :bump: so it will be seen by more and hopefully a few of them will call or write an email! [/quote] Since my call to the Coast Guard and attempt to send the email to Mr. Butler, my email has been returned undeliverable and I cannot get through to them at the phone number you posted. I believe I have been blocked for some strange reason. Notwithstanding, I have sent the original email to the Auxilliary Coast Guard to the contact persons on their websit. There are three. I have requested that they forward it on to Mr. Butler. I have also addressed the fact that it would not surprise me if I received my email back from each of them marked "undeliverable". Should that be the case I will have to figure out how to proceed further with this issue, after all I pay taxes and I think I am entitled to address issues with government agencies to those in charge, without them attempting to muzzel me..... I wonder just what it is that they are trying to protect or hide... very curious...meanwhile five young men may lose their lives through their inactivity. [/quote]

This is Urgent! Right now there are five young and brave Canadian Fishermen out on the Atlantic right off the coast off Nova Scotia. Their boat capsized saturday night and a US Coast Guard plane was even able to pic up the life raft after with an thermical imaging camera, they were not able to get to them because of rough seas and almost 0 visibility. They stopped the search tuesday evening after not even 40hrs - even the weather calmed down and with food and water for minimum 3 days on board the life raft. Those five young men are the heart of the communities they come from, and most of them have children and wifes. We heard about people before who survived longer than 40hrs in worser conditions, and those young men are strong and have a will to survive.
So we need you to show your support and urge the Coast Guards to go on with the search until they have at least found the capsized vessel and or the life-raft. Imagine it would be your sons out there!
PLEASE CALL THE CANADIAN COAST GUARD AND DEMAND TO EXTEND THE SEARCH FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 36hrs!!!
