Donate to Japan

It’s true, Japan is a developed country.  However, a disaster of this magnitude would be devastating to any country, developed or otherwise. 

My father just told me my cousins in Japan (they’re half-Japanese) lost their grandmother.  Tokyo Electric has lost 27% of it’s electricity generation capacity, leaving it 10 million kW short of demand, forcing almost 2 million households to be without electricity.  Death toll may hit 10,000.  Over a million households have been without water. 

I urge people to donate.  Canadian Red Cross is taking donations online.  Even a little bit helps because it all adds up.
