Happy new year?

I got a nice postcard from Stephen Harper and his family wishing me a happy new year this week. I was about to blame Canada Post for slow service, when I realized he was wishing me a happy Jewish new year.

Somehow, my name ended up on a Conservative mailing list of Jewish constituents. I realize "Wise" can be a Jewish name, but it also has German and English Protestant roots. Did the Conservatives simply target all "Jewish sounding" names for this direct mail campaign?
