10. British Columbia is giving 8 mill to the Canadian Red Cross
Oil Rich Alberta should pony up Big imo

I finally brought myself to watch the scenes of utter devastation today
and it is simply beyond belief that the Prime Minister of Canada & the pResident of the USA would remain on vacation at a time like this.

The worst natural disaster in Modern History & these people choose to stay on Vacation. It's Sickening.

Fuck face ** should cough up the price of one Raptor one fucking Raptor Jet Fighter $225 Million ASAP no strings.

13. B.C. did donate 8 million....but the Campbell is still in Hawaii..
I really feel leaders should come home from Holidays when disasters happen in this magnitude....All should be helping out.....and offering whatever is needed by these countries...we share the planet and should realize that everything is connected...and one day we may need help.....the devistation is truly unimaginalble!!!

I totally agree 100% with you!!

11. Does this mean the Red Cross
"feels their pain?" Those phony bastards - always trying to imitate President Clinton! I hope the WH is on top of this nonsense.

12. I heard Harper this morning...
playing politics as usual and being totally ineffectual as well. I think the world, including Canada, is reacting as quickly and effectively as it can given the ever changing and increasingly horrific facts coming out on this tragedy.
