If that is indeed the figure, then my hat is off to the Canadian people. I
must say, the response from other countries has been much more than I
would
have imagined. May this be the start of a renaissance in the way we
Americans view ourselves and our place in the world.

Another very interesting donation by a Canadian was announced last night.

Frank Stronach, a Canadian Industrialist has donated $25 million in CASH to
the disaster relief fund. He is also going to build a 300 unit trailer
park for the homeless. He has taken into his compound in Palm Beach 200 of
the homeless people from New Orleans. PALM BEACH!!!!!! WOW.......
That's some luxury...... This is one generous Canadian.

In my home town, a very small one at that, there was $42,000.00 collected
from the private citizens for the relief effort for the homeless of New
Orleans.

Now will "some" of you Americans stop bad mouthing us here in Canada,
please! ( an apology would be nice. You know who you are! )
