Correction: After Katrina hit the US, the Chinese Government immediately donated US$ 5 million in cash to the U.S. Government, and sent a charter freighter plane, a Boeing-747, carrying materials such as tents, small-size petroleum generators, bed sheets and children garment to aid the relocated refugees from the Gulf Coast.

To those doubt if China would help in case Canada or US in trouble: China sent 1 million USD plus other relief stuff immediately after Katrina tragedy in the US. (And FYI., the US send China only USD 50,000 this time, even when the earthquake is the most severe natural disaster that'd happen on earth!) China is so friendly, that when similar tragedy happens in some other parts of the world, she would offer generous help without thinking twice. Maybe China is too nice for your guys to understand.

Glad to see that finally the government of Canada did something, which is a good move. I think a country's assistance under such a circumstance is not a matter of money or something, it's a matter of showing its sympathy and good-will. Offering nothing to help only means that the two countries' relationship is totally broken, which I don't think would do anything good to both of the countries. 1 million to a big country like Canada is nothing. It's just symbolic yet it serves the purpose well.

jpj65: if you think they deserve more how about emptying yer bank account and sending it over. Maybe take it over personally and donate your services as well. No?

Only thing China would send would be shock waves mechanically-generated to make it worse.
