Hard to say where the blame lies in a case like this, or if there is in fact ANY blame, in a situation where there is a huge rush to get news released to the public at the earliest moment! I doubt very much that the relief on the one side comes even close to off setting the grief and despair on the other. It's like "pouring salt" on an already tragic situation.
Says the stupidest asshole on the entire forum!
Good for everyone that could send cash. WE have a local non newsworthy situation that takes this month's available cash.
Oh so you were provoked into mentioning Trump? Man, if it's that's easy to provoke you into whining about Trump in a thread that couldn't possibly have less to do with him, you have one seriously weak mind.
I fully agree with you except for one thing, it will be frosty Friday when I call that little prick "Sir".
He can't even comment on a tragic situation like this without sinking to the depths of depravity to the utter disgust of anyone reading his treacherous remarks.

Claiming I didn't vote for Trump isn't "whining" about Trump. If you weren't such a moron, you'd know that.
Now, do you two cretins have anything to say about the bus crash or do you need to continue to make this about me?
Hee hee hee, this piece of shit actually thinks that anyone here would make any topic on here about him! 
Cash is just one of many ways to help a situation like this.

Organ donation by Humboldt Broncos player inspires others
Many social media users say the donation of Humboldt Broncos player Logan Boulet's organs has inspired them to become donors themselves, with health officials in three provinces saying online registrations have surged in the days following the horrific crash.
A spokesperson for British Columbia's organ donation agency said it saw more than a sixfold increase in online registrations over the weekend compared to two weeks earlier, and Ontario officials said registrations nearly tripled Sunday over the same period of time.

I'll cover it for you. PM me the particulars.
I'm serious.
Or just tell me how much you've spent on the local situation, and I'll give the same to the Humboldt GoFundMe.
Again, I'm serious. Taking care of your unpublicized local crisis is no less worthy than giving to Humboldt. As a matter of fact, it's more worthy, not morally, but in terms of effectiveness.
I'm lucky enough to have it available. Tax did the right thing. I just want to see neither Humboldt nor his local crisis get shorted just by happening at the same time.

FALL RIVER, N.S. — Tim Hortons has apologized for a “misunderstanding” after a Halifax-area franchisee reportedly sold doughnuts in the Humboldt Broncos’ colours without intending to donate the proceeds to the team.
The company said it has since launched a national fundraising campaign to support the junior hockey team that was involved in a horrific collision that left 15 people dead in Saskatchewan last week.
The coffee and doughnut chain said the franchise owner in Fall River, N.S., made a “personal donation” and created the doughnuts with white frosting and green-and-yellow sprinkles — the team’s colours — as a tribute to the hockey club before the chain’s fundraising campaign rolled out.

“This restaurant owner proactively sold this doughnut as a thoughtful gesture along with a personal donation to the Humboldt Broncos Hockey Club over the weekend,” Chris Wakefield, regional marketing lead for Tim Hortons Canada, said in an emailed statement Tuesday.
“Of course, this restaurant will be donating 100 per cent of proceeds from this doughnut to the Humboldt Broncos Hockey Club and we apologize for the misunderstanding.”
He added that the “Humboldt Broncos Strong” doughnuts being sold at all its Saskatchewan restaurants are available to every Tim Hortons restaurant wishing to participate, with all proceeds going to the hockey team.
The clarification comes after StarMetro Halifax reported Monday that an unidentified manager of the Fall River franchise said the doughnuts were meant as a gesture to those affected by the tragedy, but that proceeds wouldn’t be sent to Humboldt.
A request for comment from the owner of the Fall River cafe was not immediately returned Tuesday.
On Sunday, Tim Hortons announced it was making a $50,000 donation to the Humboldt Broncos Hockey Club.
The company said the “Humboldt Broncos Strong” doughnut would be available for $1 plus tax at participating Saskatchewan locations for a limited time, with all proceeds going to the hockey club.
“Together with our restaurant owners, Tim Hortons sends its thoughts and prayers to the Humboldt Broncos, their families and the entire community impacted by this unimaginable tragedy,” the chain said in a statement on its website.
“Tim Hortons restaurant owners in Humboldt and the neighbouring communities of Tisdale, Melfort, Nipawin and Saskatoon have been on the ground since Friday night providing food, coffee and water to affected families, local first responders, emergency services and hospital staff,” the company said. “We are committed to supporting our Humboldt family through this difficult time.”

You are right, all to often local matters are overlooked in favor of the big shiny events. Lions clubs tend to look after locals that need a hand up. Most never hear of it.
