Canadians have donated $20 million. Not the government. Individual donations. Some days I think that there might be hope for the human race after all.

Plus $40 million from the feds, and a combined $18 million from BC, Ontario and Alberta.

Individual Americans are also giving a great deal, though I haven't seen numbers. The Amazon.com number was over $5,000 yesterday, and I'm sure that's the tip of the iceberg.

Our government, however, seems to think it's poorer than yours ... *growl*

Of course it's poorer...there are foreign places to go, brown people to kill. It's just rush rush rush all the time.

That's quite something. I am pleasantly surprised.

I was so surprised that Alberta's gov't gave $5 million--as much as Ontario's. Maybe Ralph saw some sort of vision or heard some clanking chains. Maybe a morsel of undigested food...
