Crocodile,
Just donated $100 via RED CROSS (Winnipeg). I am sure I can rally something tomorrow @ work.
Cheers, GO CANADA!

croc,

Nice to see that the Canadians are organizing relief for the million homeless folks in the Indian Ocean Basin.

The U.S. government announced today it would be giving $15 million in aid. That's about $15 for each person who survived but probably lost a home, a loved one or a neighbor. Seems a pittance, almost an insult to humanity when you consider that.....

In contrast, we're spending 33% more each and every day to whack Iraqis. America, not quite so generous as it purports to be, eh?

Note: on the same CBC news page, there is contact info for aid agencies with Canadian offices (suggestion -- perhaps someone on the thread will post some U.S. contact info if this has not been done already -- could make it easier for people to make a donation if they are so inclined).
