S&F, Steve,
As a kiwi, can I ask why you are asking just Canada?
Anyway, I totally agree.
Europe would not bail us out, and also we send a lot of aid, even though we are very small and suffering from our own problems.

Has Australia committed funds yet? I know Swanny has announced billions in government spending cuts. So yeah, great, our government sacrifices spending on Australia all the while sending same public money overseas to Europe. Well I guess the reason for this is to ensure the whole globe goes down with the Eurozone.

You know, Steve,
Ozzies are so brilliant because they apologise freely and they speak the truth.
Unlike America and Europe.
I don't know if we are pouring money into Europe - all I know is that we are pouring money into other countries while ignoring our own.
This reminds me of the world wars - Oz and NZ were always there to help, but it makes you wonder if any of those countries we saved would ever help us.
The message here is help your own and (I was going to say, forget the rest, but in honour of our soldiers who died I cannot say that). So, what I will say is, put your own country first.

I have no idea if we are, but we will happily waste a $100,000 on a bloody lost penguin.

I'm Canadian.
I don't recall being asked if it was ok to use MY money for anything else but helping my Country in its own crisis.
I also don't remember being asked if I wanted to be involved in invasions, occupations or wars of which I have nothing to do with and sacrificing MY brothers and sisters for the gains of TPTB.
I just don't remember being asked....
Peace

wait.. is everyone else sending billions to 3rd world countries?
how many billions do these people need?
if everyone is losing money, who is gaining it?
sometimes i wonder if there isnt a giant hole somewhere dug straight to the center of the earth with a thousand people surrounding it, working night and day, just tossing money down into it.

This is all in lieu of world wars. Instead of armies marching across borders to gain assets, they now march "deficits" and binary soldiers to wreck havok on other economies for their own gain.
