Here you can see the bustling metropolis of Saskatchewan's Capital city.
when people ask for a donation :- "sorry I donate directly to my chosen charity via the bank"
When you see beggars asking for money "Sorry I pay for everything on card" Then buy them a sandwich, or a hot drink if its a cold day. I never, EVER give money directly to beggars, you don't know if it will be used for food, cigs, alcohol, or drugs. I would much rather give them a hot drink and something to eat than give them a couple of quid which they then use for cigs, drugs, or alcohol.

Just say no.
No need for further explanation.
No need to be rude and ignore the cashier.
No need to think it will look bad, the majority probably say no anyway.
I'm not paying for any charity as a matter of principle, and I live by my principles. I think it's the most evil thing to do, to get rich on the guilt of others.
Heck, I have asthma and a buch of allergies yet I'm not donating to them either. If something is important enough it would get funded by the government, I'm not going to get myself scammed. And there is no reason you should feel guilty if you don't donate, it's nothing personal and people should understand that.
The do this in America too, particularly in the movies where they will walk from seat to seat in the theatre like you owe them some sort of tithe or something. I noticed that since the theatre employees weren't pulling in enough the last couple years, they're using girl scouts this year.
My dad does this all the time :P. I just ignore them.
When I donate to a charity, it's going to be one I've chosen, researched and vetted. Probably for a cause that doesn't get much.

Because BC is better
<throws BC gang signs>
Lack of ocean, 40 below winters, and rednecks is enough reason to dislike Alberta IMO. It's a great place to live no doubt - but BC is the best
BC is Alberta, without the above downsides, and a marijuana problem in place of a meth problem - that sounds pretty ideal to me!
Especially United Way. Fuck United Way.
Don't feel bad saying no.
I've been to places where people were poor, and there I went up to them and gave them money.
I guess I dont want to give money to a white guy, texting on an Iphone with Rayban sunglasses, coming up to me, telling me about africa.. No.. Just no.
I like juice
take only as much money as you need with you to buy the beer, if they ask you to donate just show them your empty wallet
visited canada 2 years ago and as I bought some souvenirs in a shop I got asked to donate aswell, but the same thing happened to me in a shop in LA so yeah^^
Raise taxes on the rich and stop demanding the already-poor to give money to the even-more-poor.
