How much does that work out to per person considering the effected population of the nations damaged? I'm figuring at a 10:1 survival rate at 156 thousand dead...... Ya think the region was a bit overpopulated? Ya think all those bucks are going to the persons in need? CM |

Germany is pledging $680 million to tsunami relief. Their 2002 population was 83 million, so that comes to over $8 per capita. That far surpasses what the U.S. is donating: $350M through our government, $200M through private donations, and, what, maybe $100M in military aid? $2 per person. We still ought to be doing better. Australia is giving $765 million in loans and grants. They're a country of 20M people. WOW!!!! "Overproof" wrote in message news:8C_Cd.51842$dv1.48975@edtnps89... Yup....

Canada Stands at.....
Federal Government: The Canadian government has pledged, as of 02 January 2005, CAD 80 million (USD 67 million), an increase to the original figure of CAD 4 million offered by the federal government, which had previously been revised to 40 million, as an immediate contribution toward the aid effort and will also be providing blankets, water purification devices, and generators through the Canadian International Development Agency. The Canadian federal government has also announced a debt moratorium for the countries most severely impacted by the tsunamis. Also, Canada has announced it will send its DART (Disaster Assistance Response Team) to Ampara in Sri Lanka. Provincial Governments: In addition to the federal funds, the provincial government of British Columbia has given CAD 8 million (USD 6.6 million) to the Canadian Red Cross, the provincial governments of Ontario and Alberta have each pledged CAD 5 million (USD 4.1 million), the provincial governments of Quebec, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nova Scotia have each given CAD 100,000 (USD 82,000), and the provincial governments of the Northwest Territories and Prince Edward Island have pledged CAD 25,000 and 20,000 respectively. As of 03 January 2005, Canadian governments have pledged CAD 98.5 million in aid; this translates to CAD 3.05 per capita. Voluntary Sector: Measuring the extent of individual and corporate philanthropy is more difficult, although the government estimated on 02 January 2005 that donations to tsunami victims had reached CAD 36 million, or a little more than one CAD per capita. The federal government created incentives for private donations: it announced that it would match donations dollar-for-dollar and decided to bend the rules by allowing tsunami-related donations made before 11 January 2005 to be claimed on 2004 income-tax returns. |

We don't have terrorism...... just terrorist cells.
I wouldn't support spending a dime on it..... it only makes them feel important. We totally ignore them and eventually they will get bored and go away. CM "Bob Crantz" wrote in message k.net...

Yeah.... I hear that..... I wouldn't eat any Canadian beef unless I know
the farmer and the cow! I got 4, 30lb slabs of home cured Bacon coming from Sweetland in Lunenburg... a buddy of mine cures them. I put half a pig and a quarter of a cow into the freezer this year. Both the pigs and cow were "finished off" with a bin of carrots, apples and corn. Man oh Man... it really produced some tender sweet tasting meat. I traded a pair of prime young Plymouth Barred Rocks [ Rooster & Hen] for a half dozen meat birds as well. They averaged about 8lbs a bird. Next year I'm getting a couple of turkeys...

I can not even count to two billion.
I'm sure if every victim affected gets 100% of his cut they will have 10 years + of the average local years wages. I saw a navy picture yesterday of a local island native shooting at a sea knight with a bow and arrow. What's he going to do with all that money? Its going to ruin him. Joe |
