Duty To Do Good - Softwood Money To Non-Profits

Posted on Saturday, October 14 at 16:52 by jensonj
The groups, announced yesterday by U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab, include Habitat for Humanity, which builds homes for low-income people. The ecumenical Christian ministry will get US$100 million. The American Forest Foundation, a non-profit education and conservation organization, will get US$150 million. http://www.winnipegsun.com/Business/2006/10/14/pf-2024567.html

    "I am pleased that, in consultation with the Canadian government, we were able to fund worthy causes that will meet fundamental needs in the forestry sector to the benefit of both countries," said Schwab.

    These people will literally swim in thir own filth and enjoy it. They must think that we don't have functioning brains.

    That is very good news. The same will not happen in Canada but it is not free money to Canadians. I praise those non-profit societies and glad to see that some of the money has gone to good use.
