Im going home Donny Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Trying to figure out how to donate winter gear. Anyone know?I see the Canadian Red Cross is accepting money but I'm not sure how to give clothes/blankets et. I'll get on the phone to the Red Cross but hoping someone knows first.

shitidiot Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Crazy that they are sitting on Ontario's only diamond mine.There is so much crazy going on. I pretty much equate it to racism and greed. Not sure what else to think. I'd realy like to know why our military aren't flying goods in and shacking up to help throughout the winter and get shit going on come the spring.

Velvet Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Ontario gov't seems at fault as far as the diamond mine goes. Turns out DeBeers pays lots and lots of rent and tax for their mine but the gov't returns zero of that money back to the community. Non-native communities get a percentage of this kind of money but native communities are under some special clause where the province doesn't have to give them any of it, so they don't.

C-towns, do you know of any groups that are flying in emergancy goods? What brings you to that area? I would like to know how many other Northern communities are facing similar situations as temperatures get into the minus thirties?

Im going home Donny Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Just a reminder that these True North Aid folks are accepting warm gear and flying it in. If you have kids you probably have stuff that is super valuable to our Northern brothers and sisters as temperatures dip into the minus 30s...imagine.

Im going home Donny Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 and if you don't have kids you likely have an extra blanket or two. I only specified the kids since it's as I tuck my kids into bed at night..that's when I think of these kids sleeping in mould infested, freezing conditions that seems to realy shatter my heart. Sorry if this constant reminding is annoying...all I can think to do is shout out here and on Facebook. Pretty close to becoming the crazy lady with a sign on Parliment hill.
