"if that is indeed the figure," ?????
F*ck you and your hat.
We don't need your approval for helping out those in need...American or
otherwise.

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


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.

Maybe the victims should have been given a vote on whether to accept
Cuba's help or not.

If they'd voted to accept it, it would have been SUCH a perfect kick in the
balls for Nookular Boy. It would've been a political work of art, second
only perhaps to Abbie Hoffman throwing cash off the balcony at the NY Stock
Exchange.

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! )

Sorry that my post came across that way. That was not the intent.

Please note my sentence in my initial post - "Maybe I missed the news but so
far I have not ready about any donations from
your Country."

I was obviously wrong as evidenced by the information you and others posted
here.

If I offended you or other Canadians with my mistake, I apologize.

That's true...but what a perfect time to show who is the 'bigger man'.
Castro has to be mellowing out at his age and if the US played it right,
I'm sure he'd come around a bit.

Bull****. You were trying to see what you could get away with, hoping nobody
was looking. No fruit rollups for you this week.
