So, speaking of stingy, I saw on Global News this morning that southern Alberta has donated either $1.2 or $1.8 million out of the $78 million (private donations) Canada has donated. Per capita, that puts us well below average for Canadians. OTOH, I'm sure we are well above Canadian average in income and wealth. Unfortunately I didn't catch where Global got their numbers, but I am a little bit surprised by this.

I guarantee you that Quebec has given less. What is classified as Southern Alberta anyway? I just read in an earlier post that one oil company gave over $200,000. My guess is the number you use is very much out-of-date. Albertans usual out-give the rest of the country simply because they have more to give.
