(OT) Disaster Relief... Attention Canadians
To all Canadians:
The Canadian military has a unit known as D.A.R.T. (Disaster Assistance Response Team). As the name suggests, they are a rapid deployment group with: Doctors, SAR Techs, water purification teams, mobile kitchens & shelters. In short, everything that SE Asia currently needs. They are still on the ground in Canada, while Our Minister of National Defence, Bill Graham sends observers to the affected area to 'asses the situation'. Hmmm, thousands will die from drinking contaminated water, we have water purification teams ready to go.... You can see how this would be a complex decision for him... :-( I URGE all Canadians to e-mail Mr. Graham ( ) And ask him why the D.A.R.T. unit is still cooling it's heels in Canada. Mabey if we light a big enough fire under his ASS, he'll let them go do what they're trained & ready to do. Thanks -- Mathew En Vino Veritas |

It's difficult for a xenophobic Brit like myself to say this, but http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asi...ic/4138763.stm - Thank you USA, you have risen to the challenge. I salute you. -- Z 51° 37' 23" N, 3° 56' 27" W |

(I am not one of those simpering softies but I actually boo-hooed out of the blue today watching a CNN report about the tsunami. It is too horrible, too tragic to really grasp.) |
