Well, that person filling their gas tanks was certainly a very, very small minority judging from the various comments I've either read in articles or seen on the various news outlets up here in Canada tonight. All of the people from Slave Lake quoted or shown were *all* blown away that Kate and William would do this and help ensure they were not forgotten about. Not to mention showing light on what has happened to their community to the rest of the World. That in turn will have others wondering what they can do to help those people.
There are hundreds homeless and have *nothing* left. As the Fire Chief himself said, after so many days and weeks of sadness and helplessness, for the first time he could actually feel his town being hopeful about the future again.
All of that, could *never* have been accomplished by a simple private visit. Also the fact they did this on their day off, speaks volumes to me about what kind of people William and Kate are. When they say they care about something, it's not for show.
On another note...Did anyone else happen to see the feature on tonight's The National about EP Ranch, which was the Alberta ranch and property The Duke of Windsor once owned? That was really facsinating and I can understand why David bought it. Gorgeous, gorgeous piece of this World of ours. )
