[Healeys] 100 Technical Articles

[Earl Kagna]

Wait a minute!

We have a large West Coast here in British Columbia - we keep Alaska and 
Washington State well connected with each other, they might lose their way 
otherwise.  We have big cruise ships, nice sunsets, McDonalds, everything. 
We on Vancouver Island even have an 'east' West Coast.  The Island is 
actually larger than some of your American states, floating out here in the 
Pacific Ocean, standing guard over the actual Canadian (and American) 
mainland.

As for the cold, the 'southern' Canadian West Coast can be the warmest place 
in Canada in the winter.  Problem is it can also be the wettest.

Rich - you ought to know about this stuff - I hear you've been to Duncan.

All in good fun, Alan.  Come and visit - see for yourself.

I thought Canada was the 51st state?  It's sort of cold, like Alaska, but
without a West Coast.
