How very Canadian of you. I take it you will be contributing all of your poker winnings to the victims of the tsunami, as well as any extra money you may have lying around.
They appreciate your support.

We are talking about aid coming from tax money. Your income and the Caniadian's income have already been taxed! So it's not a matter of "charity" as you put it. Charity is up to every individual on its own - and there is no harm in NOT giving to charity. But after we all chip in to the tax man, we get to decide how the tax money is spent. (Or, as we do here now, to debate the actions of those we elected to spend!)
HDPM says that government-to-government aid should be discontinued, for any cause and for ever. He says only (private) charity should do such work.
I say this is either good irony from the part of HDPM or popyycock. I'll let you elaborate.
