It is on the news here on the other side of the planet. Let's hope for good news out of this. Kiwis have had a rough ride from Mother Nature the last year.

Although a 6.3 quake, this was centred only 5 km down. and so has done massive damage. Unlike september, there are multiple fatalities, at a number of sites.
The Christchurch Cathedral, a famous landmark, is this time "all but destroyed". In september, it came though unscathed. Initial death toll 65 so far.

Lynn,
I'm sure that I speak for all MLU members and pass our sympathies and prayers to those in Christchurch and New Zealand as a whole. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all, as yours were recently with the floods and fires in Australia. Chin up, Rick.

Unfortunately where ever we live on the planet, our lives are challenged by the elements. You Canadians learn to live with fires and cold, you Australians usually live with the threat of bush fires, but have just been hammered by cyclones, and flooding. New Zealand is a country of moderation, but we live on the pacific rim and as such we live with volcanic activity and earth quakes. Earthquakes happen here every day, most of them we don't notice.
Today Christchurch copped a big one. Today my heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones for no good reason, other than they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. They are getting a bad deal down there.

It is good to see the NZ military out in full force to help, tanks and all.
NZ has always stood fast and died side by side with Canadians. I would expect the Canadian government to offer aid, take away from idiot countries that you have to bribe to help the people. Send NZ a couple of cargo ships with BC lumber, a win win situation, yes, we are concerned about our NZ friends and wish them the best ![]() |

Thank the powers to be my family in Christchurch are all OK,some are camping out as their houses are unsafe,others have moved out of the city,some to Dunedin.
The death toll is expected to rise to the likes not seen here before.

For our New Zealand cousins, Australia feels your pain and heart ache.
As was previously expressed on behalf of Canada, our two countries have an unbreakable bond of friendship and support, in our case dating back to Gallipoli in 1915. When you grieve, we grieve. When you weep, our tears flow also. This has literally been the case since Tuesday afternoon. I was immensely proud to see our military, police and medical/nursing teams on their way to help in Christchurch wherever they could. This is no more than you good folk did for us in our time of need, just a few weeks ago. I know the whole of Australia is watching and praying for as many 'miracles' as can be. YOU ARE NOT ALONE, we stand beside you in spirit, even though we are not with you in person! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Just got back from Christchurch where as a building inspector I along with 25 others were flown down via the RNZAF where we were tasked with assessing the damage to commercial and residential dwellings. The media have well and truly covered the scale of destruction and tragedy that has hit not only Christchurch and its surrounding suburbs but also the historic port settlement of Lyytelton, so I wont go into such things except to say that I am extremely proud of our Armed services who I had the pleasure of dealing with while down there as with the local Police and volunteer Fire service's. I would like to say and I'm sure on behalf of all NZ'ers a big heartful thankyou to the overseas search and rescue teams who poured into the city and especially to our kin from across the Tasman who were on the ground so quickly and doing the business so professionally. David.

We just booked our holidays to NZ. I reckon the best way for us mere mortals to help out is to keep the cash registers ticking over. Please consider it when next booking a flight. Especially all of us on the West island.
