This absurd auction should be ended. I'm going to stick my head out there and raise my voice, though I know it will likely get cut off by the left wing nutters on here. But I'm speaking for many. I'm sure many participants in the auction would not want to donate money or sig space to this cause now that it's become a farce. Yet how will they look if they back out now? Classic bait-and-switch. Allow me to quote my other post.

This is why they invented savings and insurance. Many people face hardships in their lives. In fact, most people do. I do not see the urgent need for you to receive >$16000 in charity. I hate to call this a bait-and-switch but that's what it seems like. I could understand if you had to go to the US for treatment, but contrary to popular belief, we have very competent doctors in Canada. I myself have donated over $5000 to Sick Kids in Toronto since 2000.
I find this whole thing shameful.
