The Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta will match every dollar donated by Canadians to the Canadian Red Cross 2024 Alberta Fires Appeal. This means that every $1 donated will become $3 to support those affected by the wildfires.

    I don’t feel like the government should be matching donations to a private organization…it’s the f-ing government - either just go help people who need help because they’re your people or contract with red cross to do the helping for you with accountability for the job they do.

    Matching private money, hoping its enough to help where they obviously see it’s needed, and putting no accountability on the recoever of the money to do anything specific with it is not how to deal with disasters! PR Garbage.
