According to Bev Oda, Minister of International Cooperation.

“Our government is prepared to match their contributions dollar for dollar,” up to a maximum of $50 million.

The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) will hand out these funds to Canadian and international humanitarian and development organizations.

The death toll from Haiti’s earthquake could be between 45,000 and 50,000, with a further 3 million people hurt or homeless in an increasingly desperate country, a senior Haitian Red Cross official said Thursday.

At least 1,500 bodies were stacked inside and outside the morgue of Port-au-Prince’s General Hospital Thursday before noon, as pick-up trucks continued to deliver the dead from Tuesday’s earthquake, the hospital’s director said.

Everything these days seems to be about social networking,twitter and texting .. i cannot text to save my live.. ha ! i hardly ever use my cellphone i guess i am old school when it comes to the latest technology.. with all these tech-savvy teens where does an old school guy like me fit into today’s society ?

I didn’t even know there is such a thing as a texting championship that is how old school i am :( but this young lady will be representing canada in the Mobile World Cup that LG stages Wednesday and Thursday in New York.She must top texters from 13 countries to win the cup and $100,000.

A world title in texting wow .. we have come a long way :)

When will we even make the playoffs again ? I see no definite answer to either of these questions .. with a record of 3-10-5 in 18 games so far … dead last in the Northeast Division .. second to last in the conference .. is there even any hope for the leafs in what was suppose to be a play off season ?

What will it take for the leafs to win ??
