Hurricane Katrina blogburst

Today, hundreds of bloggers are asking their readers to donate to the relief effort. I'm blogging for the Canadian Red Cross, which is now accepting tax-deductible contributions from Canadians to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Donation information here.

A couple of years ago, I asked my readers to donate to the Red Cross to help the victims of flooding which struck Badger, Newfoundland, and many of my American readers gave generously. I'm sure most Canadians are ready to extend their support to our friends in Louisiana and Mississippi at this dreadful time. (Yes, there are a few soulless pricks who say they won't give a penny to help the eeeevil Yanks, but we shouldn't let them get all the attention.)

More details about the blogburst, and information on where American readers can donate, here.

Technorati tags: flood aid, Hurricane Katrina

Update: Blogcritics has also started an appeal for funding, with proceeds going to the American Red Cross.

Update II: if you buy Mark Steyn's The Face of the Tiger or Mark Steyn From Head to Toe from his online bookstore today, he'll donate the full proceeds of sale to Mercy Corps. A very generous gesture - and you know the books are going to be good.
