Ottawa pledges $2M to Indonesia quake victims; no Canadians reported affected: "The federal government has committed $2 million to assist victims of Saturday's devastating Indonesian earthquake that left thousands dead and decimated homes and hotels in the country's central region.

'On behalf of all Canadians, I wish to extend our sympathies to the families and friends of those who lost their lives and to those communities hit by this dreadful act of nature,' Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay said in a statement Saturday."
