Ah yes, the grand Canadian tradition of talking in great detail about the weather. Subtopics including “Weather I hate”, “Weather that is acceptable to me”, “Worst weathers I’ve known”, “Stories about weather that have been passed down through generations of my family”, “Relative merits of different weathers and weathers in different places”, “Strategies for coping with various weathers”, and “Humidity: The worst thing or the very worst thing?” :D

replied to your link “B.C. Government to match donations up to $20 million to help people…”

fuck red cross if you know anyone actually deserving of aid give it to them directly

Please stop Americanizing Canadian politics. Every natural disaster in Canada someone says this, and they’re wrong.

The Canadian Red Cross is a distinct organization. It is not the American Red Cross and it has an excellent reputation:

Canadian Red Cross recognized as one of the top 100 charities in Canada

Canadian Red Cross receives 4-star charity rating from Charity Intelligence

~70% of the Revenues of the Canadian Red Cross goes to its programs. The remaining is used for administration and fundraising.

Please donate to the Canadian Red Cross. It will save lives.

I love my friends
