Statement by the Prime Minister on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
August 31, 2005
Ottawa, OntarioPrime Minister Paul Martin today issued the following statement concerning the tragic results of Hurricane Katrina:
“Like all Canadians, I am distressed by the destruction and loss of life wrought by Hurricane Katrina. On behalf of the Government of Canada and all Canadians, I offer our sincere condolences to the American people. During this most difficult time, Canada stands with you, and we are ready to provide whatever support you may require in the days, weeks and months ahead.
“Even before the enormity of the devastation became clear, I asked Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan to lead the Government of Canada’s response to any requests for assistance. We are continuing to monitor the situation closely. I know that she and a number of her Cabinet colleagues have been in touch with their American counterparts and have begun to determine what assistance Canada can offer. We have made it clear that we are prepared to offer any and all possible assistance, and we will continue to work closely with our neighbours as they deal with this terrible event.”
We wonder if those offering sympathy include members of the Liberal Party and their official staff who think of the Americans as “idiots” and “morons” and have said so publically, or those who think the Americans “deserve” whatever comes their way.
