Donations in the same way I give a dollar to salvation army and don't expect to ever cash in on my dollar

Why is this question getting downvoted?

My guess is the same account spamming about running for mayor of Ottawa is showing an inability to read any story on donations to Ukraine since we started donations over a year ago.

Edit: just realized this post was from a 5 months ago, still one year into the war.

Theyโ€™re donations.

I think it's important to note that this isn't just throwing money in to a hole. The stuff we donate is mostly made in Canada, so there's some economic kickback
