I sure hope his daughter gets elected. :wink:
I saw this on the news. Mr. Stronach is doing a great thing. Too bad none of the US billionaires would do something similar.

Some of our American and European cousins know almost nothing about Canada. Some have suggested that we need to do a better PR job so that the rest of the world knows what we are about. I think they may be right. We are pretty quiet about our accomplishments. I think I'm going to change that. I've posted this on some international forums too.

If you are trolling, consider me hooked.
Belinda Stronach is useless. She proved that when she had the Ontario PCs present their budget in a TV studio. Seriously, that would have moved my vote elsewhere, had I been in Ontario.
I swore if she won the leadership of the CPC, I would quit voting.
She has no sense of loyalty, she is a mercenary opportunist, she has a sense of entitlement that knows no bounds......she belongs with the Liberals.
May she lose, and sink into oblivion.
Frank, however, deserves kudo for his actions.
BTW, on average Americans are MUCH more generous to charity than are Canadians.

I LIKE the fact that our "neighbors" and European 'relatives" know very little about Canada. I don't believe in blowing ones horn or bragging or advertizing.
Prefer to have the actions speak for themselves , without a lot of self grandization. The last thing we need to do is to follow the US model in this regard.
A lot to be said for being understated, quiet, productive .......without drawing attention to oneself as it simply takes away from the achievements.
bragging never accomplished anything.......and sure as anything comes back to haunt one. LOUD MOUTHS ......we don't need.
but back to the original topic..........a very nice gesture indeed. And it DOES speak to the heart of what Canada/Canadians continually aim to be. Without fan fare............(and trumpets blowing ...)
Let's keep Canada and Canadians on the path of being a class act.

Excuse me, but Oprah Winfrey donated an equal amount, and also she set up a website where everyday people could donate furnishings. Plus she and several of her friends went IN PERSON to view the ruins and offer comfort.
Many Americans have given, but not all chose to publicize it.
