Well Done, Canada.

During the Canadians for Haiti telethon, including the French-language telethon Canadians donated some $20 million towards Haitian relief.

This should be compared to the U.S. effort which raised apporoximately $60 million.

While the notion of reaching out to help someone in need isn't a competition, I think it is still worthy to note that a population of some 33 million people in Canada donated about 1/3 of the amount of the United States with a population of some 308 million.

Well done, Canada.

Pat yourself on the back for reaching out to help a neighbor in need.
