..................where are you on donations to the Katrina victims?

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.

The Canadian Government has pledged over $200 million dollars CASH in
addition to the material aid for the victims of the Katrina disaster in the
USA. This aid is in Personnel, medical assistance, bottled water, field
hospitals. The personal aid and cash to the Canadian Red Cross, the
Salvation Army, the Mennonite Disaster fund, is now over $100 million. A
lot of this aid is on 3 Canadian Warships and 1 Canadian Coast Guard ship
that is on its way to the ports in the area of New Orleans. Two Canadian
C130 Air Transport Command planes have dropped off bottled water at the
airport at New Orleans. These two planes will shuttle back and forth from
Canada to the New Orleans area dropping off relief supplies from Canadian
relief agencies.

The Canadian Prime Minister has told Bush that Canada has huge stock piles
of medical supplies such as drugs that are ready to be shipped if asked for.
It will take the OK from Bush to release these drugs as it is against US law
to ship them to the USA.

Just do a Google search to verify all of the above. It is all in place.
Most of the relief supplies from Canada is already in those States that
asked for them.

Several teams of Canadian Fire Fighters are already there in Mississippi.
Several teams of Canadian Power Line workers are there in Mississippi.
There are more waiting for permission to go to work in Louisiana.
