Mood:  energetic

Apparently there was a study out about two years ago that pinpointed Americans as more charitable than Canadians when it came to supporting charities monetarily.

What a pickle we might find ourselves in then with a government; less charitable as you might say, and with a government that cuts its size and provides less services.

I guess it might be ok; if you follow the logic, that as Canadians pay less taxes, we can all rush in to fill the vac left by vanishing government services.

But I wonder what Vivian Krause (http://metronews.ca/news/vancouver/249851/north-van-writer-wants-u-s-charity-money-out-of-canada/ )

thinks of Chagas disease.

Since it is being quickly branded as the new HIV of the world, and given the past slow uncoordinated response when the 'gay mans disease' came upon the world and its resultant controversy, instead of being alarmist, should we not at least be learning from the past and being at least vigilant in protecting the health and well being of all Canadians?
