Hi Bill:
If you knew anything about Canada, you might know that we have more than
enough fuel and we sell our extra supplies to the good old USA.

Don't tell them THAT! They'll be invading us next (bad enough then Calif
was going to invade us for our electricity...)

What makes you think we don't - dipshit.

About 400 miles north of where I live there's probably more oil sitting
in the ground than in some of those middle east countries your fellow
citizens are dying in today.

If the Province of Alberta shut of natural gas exports to such places
as the state of new york.... your fellow americans would be freezing.

Your female groping governor is probably trying to make a deal right
now to ensure there is enough electrical energy flowing from Canada
next summer to keep your sorry ass comfortably cool.

Same deal on the East Coast.
The vast majority of our offshore natural gas is sold to New England.

Vesuvius is one of our favorite places. Many years ago it was a pub with decent
food. Now it is a restaurant with good food. We've not been there in the
winter, and most of our meals have been enjoyed out on the deck, but I'll bet
it's pretty cozy inside.

There is a small dock at the bottom of the hill. Although guidebooks complain
about ferry wash (There is a ferry from Chemainus) we haven't been bothered by
that. The ferry starts up early in the morning and it can wake one up until the
sound is identified and sleep returns.

There are supposedly anchorages around Vesuvius, but we've looked into them and
haven't found one that we'd want to stay in overnight, or leave the boat
unattended. But we almost always find a spot in the early afternoons in
September.

Thanks, that's the info I was looking for.

I'll give it a try, and if it is closed, I'll scoot back to Telegraph Hbr,
which is one of my favourite haunts.

I guess Jim had his Humor surgically removed under the socialized medical
system after a 10 year wait for a hospital appointment. As to invade for
electricity, might have been a good idea. BC Power was one of those
suppliers, who jacked up the rates sky high when our legislature screwed up
the electrical industry here.

Well dipshit, you have no humor, and our Governor can most likely kick your
governor's ass, and our Gov does have a much better looking wife than you or
your governor does. And since I get a large bunch of money from my oil
company investments, as well as one of my career options in early life was
geologist I know a lot about oil and supply sources.

Well Bill, you still don't know much about Canada or you would know that we
don't have a Governor.

How little you know about your neighbour to the north.

YOU have a governor..... WE have a Premier.

Yahhh that may be right but OUR Premier can lick the icecubes
out of a highball glass.

Then tell us everything you know about the Athabasca tar sands.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I know that Lloyd had better not wait in port to fill Far Cove with fuel
from there. And what ever happened to his question about the Vesuvius Bar?

Funny, the most complaints about Canada I've heard came from Canadians, but
they sure didn't want to hear any from the USA. Oh well, I guess it's that
way here also.
Of course, Canadians would have no reason to complain about the USA They
must like the place, they all live a few miles from our border. Maybe just
trying to keep an eye on us. Tell you what, in the interest of international
goodwill ,we'll trade you Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson for Celine
Dion and 10 cases of Molson, straight up. In fact, you can keep Celine,
send the Molson.....

The tar sands cost too much to extract the oil to be competitive with Middle
East oil. Costs to get the steam to inject. And Canada does have a
Governor. Actually a Govenor General. You should have paid more attention
in school.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
