Fascinating.

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

==============================

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

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.

It is for a Radio Canada International broadcasting proposal.

Why not post a short synopsis of this urgent message here, so
non-Canadians can get the news as well? Is it an "end of the world"
thing?

You still don't get it. If you think the only way is by spamming, then
you have a way too exagerated sense of the importance of this message
that still isn't clear.

If you think the end justifies the means, then likely the end isn't
really that important.

You're already in the crackpot category here, with your posts that
I haven't even bothered to read because they just look like junk.
I think that says a lot about the so called importance of your message.
If people don't yet know your message here, then you've failed at
conveying your message, and using spam won't help one bit (and it will
kill any chance you have because if people haven't already put you in
the crackpot category, the spamming will).

Now, asking how to spam a whole top level domain does get attention,
because the concept is so stupid, let alone the question shows you
don't really know much about it since there's no way of doing it
automatically, and you won't reach all (maybe not even most?)
Canadians with this ridiculous plan of yours.

But if your previous posts that I (and likely others) were tuning
out didn't put you in the crackpot category, hinting that you want
to spam will.

Any time someone says "I don't have any choice", usually they simply
haven't looked around at what they are doing, and what they can do.
If you aren't succeeding at getting your message out, there are two
possibilities: a)nobody is interested in what you are saying (maybe
because it's a crackpot idea, maybe because it doesn't match their
interests) or b) you have not done an effective job of conveying your message.

Note that last one. It does not mean getting louder and all that,
it means you just aren't conveying the message in the first place,
so it doesn't then get moved around by others.

Since you plan on sending this stuff to non-existent departments and
ministers I don't imagine you will get much response.

Dave

Spread the word! Ottawa is non-existent... especially welcome news
in Alberta.

If only it were so, but there ain't no department or minister of
External Affairs etc. the original poster is stuck in the past.
