OOPS!

Oops… It looks as though you may have to be an actual Canadian in order to have the Canadian government match your donation, as I stated here recently. I’m not entirely certain of how this would work in practice, however, as there are Canadians all over the world, all of whom should qualify to have their donations matched, and I’ve read that the great majority of donations are being made via the Internet. I suspect that the government’s qualification may come after the fact of someone having not fully worked out the implications of the quasi-post-geographical nature of the present (happens to the best of us): They may simply not be expecting non-Canadians to start donating via .ca charities.
