I'm in Belgium. What happened?
I'm pretty sure Florence was wrong here.
Some on irc mentions that it might be correct for Belgium... I never

Also, there may be tax deductibility in Canada.

Not very wrong.
There is no general deduction in Canada for gifts to a foreign charity.
A deduction is available only in proportion to one's net income from
that country.
