they sent some guys who couldnt do anything coz of violence and they
sent some other stuff and I belive CG vessels ..

Although its good to help people in need, one has to wonder how much
money the richest country in the world requires to keep their people
from starving?

It's especially interesting when the Canadians send money, considering that
we've occasionally tried to rewrite their laws for them, on illegal drugs,
for instance.

Maybe I missed the news but so far I have not ready about any donations from
your Country.

Even Sri Lanka contributed cash to the need of the Katrina victims.

What a dumb ****.

If that is indeed the figure, then my hat is off to the Canadian people. I
must say, the response from other countries has been much more than I
would
have imagined. May this be the start of a renaissance in the way we
Americans view ourselves and our place in the world.

Another very interesting donation by a Canadian was announced last night.

Frank Stronach, a Canadian Industrialist has donated $25 million in CASH to
the disaster relief fund. He is also going to build a 300 unit trailer
park for the homeless. He has taken into his compound in Palm Beach 200 of
the homeless people from New Orleans. PALM BEACH!!!!!! WOW.......
That's some luxury...... This is one generous Canadian.

In my home town, a very small one at that, there was $42,000.00 collected
from the private citizens for the relief effort for the homeless of New
Orleans.

Now will "some" of you Americans stop bad mouthing us here in Canada,
please! ( an apology would be nice. You know who you are! )

I apologize for any bad-mouthing of Canada that I've ever done in my whole life,
mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!

What about the help that Cuba offered and we snub our noses at them and
didnt have the respect to even decline there help ? Here is a country that
we dont like and doesnt like us,but they took the first step to offer help.
I dont care for cuba,but I feel we should of atleast decline the offer
instead of ignoring it. Just my opinion

Canada's offers were made public about a day after the incident. Don't
remember
exactly, but they included a bunch of special mission C-130s.

I obviously missed that....and if what you say is correct, I apologize.\

So what financial commitments were made by the Canadian government?

Just to let you know what Sr. Castro was going to do for the unfortunate
people of New Orleans and the surrounding areas. He put together 1,100 of
his Island Nation's doctors AT THE HAVANA AIRPORT, and had the aircraft
ready to send them to New Orleans. This was not just a token gesture.
He had the doctors packed and ready to go along with 65 tons of medicines
and medical supplies. Fidel has done this for many countries of South
and Central America in the past. It was a fine and generous act on behalf
of the people of Cuba. His kindness was ignored by President Bush.

Don't forget Chavez's offer of cheap oil. ;-)
