wegman Champion Author Twin Cities Posts:7,817 Points:2,090,500 Joined:Jun 2001	Message Posted: May 28, 2012 5:42:15 AM Ignore wegman Report Abuse There is something wrong with the water in the North American Pacific coast - NOT JUST CALIFORNIA. British Columbia has some of California's liberalism and have hooked themselves up to the boutique fuels of the West Coast. As a result, they are vulnerable to the same disruptions that Californians suffer. AND they elect politicians who enact 'carbon taxes'. THIS is a case of getting what you deserve!
