Catastrophe and High Spirits

I just read Japan's Earthquake - Stories Told in Utaite's/P's Twitters. I'm touched, but... Remember how when China went to help Japan few days ago, Japan replied with "Thank you, but you haven't recovered from your earthquake, have you? You should help yourself first"? I couldn't help but wonder if it was not a "stop helping us!" message because China's giving them trouble with barely functioning made in China products and services D: I hope it's only because they are touched that China is finally putting their grudge down to help his little brother.

And, Canada, where's our help team to Japan? Canada did well in helping Haiti, but why haven't we send anyone to Japan yet? The distance is not an excuse as USA and Australia sent their teams and their dogs already.
