Canada for Canada

I watched as much as I could of the Canada for Asia money raiser on the CBC last night. I stopped watching about the same time Celine Dion began to speak. I simply found it too painful to watch.

The pain I felt was for a country that found it necessary to congratulate itself and tell everyone that was willing to watch, just how giving and important we are.

We did this without shame and on the back of a horrible tragedy where people lost everything. This is not the time to celebrate our giving nature and showcase our most gifted.

I, am.....Embarrassed!

Canada, please just shut up and empty your pockets.
