Good effort by the Canadians.
There is a trend going on in India, where they are asking not to donate to any NGO but only to the PM relief fund. So may be that is what you should do in Canada too. Donate to Red Cross.

New Delhi, India (CNN)As the earth shook in Nepal, tremors were felt over the border in India as well.
It was a call to action: Within hours of the first 7.8 magnitude quake, India began planning a massive cross-border aid mission.
With each hour, the scale of the devastation in Nepal became clearer -- some 3,862 people are known to have died so far -- and plans in India, where 72 people were also killed, got bigger.
On Sunday alone, India delivered 187 tons of supplies, including 50 tons of water, 22 tons of food and 2 tons of medicine. And there will be more to come.
Hundreds of trained disaster relief troops landed in Kathmandu and quickly got to work.
With each flight in, there was a flight back out, packed with Indians and other nationals escaping to safety: 2,000 and counting have fled so far.
By Monday, India was in full-scale crisis mode: From airports across India, planes flew in loaded with aid, and trucks made the trip by land from India's east, aiming for more remote areas.
On the ground: Devastation in Nepal
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made a special effort over Nepal. He has visited the country twice in his first year in office.
And on Sunday, in his national radio address to the nation, he said Indians needed to "wipe the tears of every Nepali, hold their hands, and stand with them."

Nepal Earthquake is a big tragedy. Bigger tragedy will be their culture and history getting wiped out by conversion quacks.

Sadly this country will go back to the stone age ..besides tourism, they don't really have any other industry to speak of and no economy as such besides that...that industry is destroyed for the near future.
Travel and tourism is going to be devastated in this poor country for ages to come..this is just the beginning
The indirect loss of life through poverty , job losses, no income, diseases, sanitation, destruction of infrastructure, loss of tourist is going to be far greater

afterall Gurkha's have been sacrificing their life for India so its now india's turn to pay back.
