Go read....

Go Canada, eh?

Guys, cut Canada some slack! They were the hardest hit by the tsunami.

Yes it's pretty low but yet again D3V, you're generalizing.

How is this shitty at all? A very small town dips into their incredibly meager budget to donate one-third of it? The third guy who voted against didn't think his vote counted because he was temporarily mayor.

RS, that 30k was for fireworks alone. Or thats how I understood it as.

Still... the article doesn't say anything that should point to "how shitty Canada is".

Cant wait till James lays the smackdown on you d3v..

I dont see how that is shitty at all. If America got hit by a huge tsunami, most of the other countries would be like, ummm lets see, we could donate money to them and help them out so they can fuck us some more, oooor we could attack now while they are weak. LOL, Napolean totally looks like hes dancing to my music. LOL, ty slaynish.

Precisely, Sovereign is correct. That $30, 000.00 was for the fireworks budget alone. Their budget isn't too small. It was a low thing to do on their part, the finks.

I hope they have 33.3~% prettier fireworks to take pictures of while Tsunami victims are struggling to recover lost lives, crops, houses, affects, families in whole, friends, and just get their lives going again.

Just about to get to that. And they didn't even let them have it, they asked for it back...

It was apparently 6 people who had a voice to vote. YOu can call a country shitty based on teh choices of 6 people.

Agreed completely. Except:
*cant call a county shitty...

Leave Canada alone, how would you feel if someone donated $30,000 of your weed money?

Pretty damn shitty.

Meadow lake is a small town. Ive been there, I know people who live there. Small towns like that living in Northern Saskatchewan don't have alot of money. Saskatchewan, and Canada has already donated MUCH much more per capita than the United States has.

And D3V, why are you reading CBC news? I thought you hated everyone outside your borders.

Jamesadin: 1

You mean -450984?

This was the point I was trying to make. The actions of a small town are nothing compared to the actions of the nation as a whole. It's not like this is all the money Canada has donated. Look heres a quote:

"Canadians in huge numbers have joined what has turned into an unprecedented outpouring of help for the survivors of the Asian tsunami.

In addition to the federal commitment of $425 million in help, other levels of government, businesses and non-governmental organizations have announced donations of millions more.

Individual Canadians have also dug deep. A preliminary tally shows that Canadians donated at least $137 million for tsunami relief to 21 eligible Canadian aid organizations as of Jan. 11. The Canadian Red Cross attracted $99 million of that. The federal government is matching dollar-for-dollar all individual tsunami donations made by Canadians by Jan. 11, up to $150 million."

This is already far more than the US government pledged. So shut the hell up.

$425 million is pretty good...but it's outdone by the British donation of £250 million, which is $471,551,294.69 in US Dollars...

Random fact there...
