Fukushima disaster might be worse than Chernobyl
Thank you so much for covering this topic, which has been so overlooked by Canadian media [“ Fukushima brings big radiation spikes to B.C. ”, August 4-11].
I spend a lot of time in Europe, and I can’t believe how little information we receive here in Canada. Any small local paper in Spain has been reporting more about the consequences of Fukushima on the North American West Coast than all the Canadian or U.S. media together. This clearly shows that to some the country’s economic interests weigh heavier than the health of millions of Canadian citizens and residents. Thank you, Georgia Straight !
What surprised me in your article is the past tense used in “there was reason to worry”. Was? Even today, 25 years after Chernobyl, German, Italian, French, and Austrian authorities still warn their citizens to limit their consumption of fresh forest mushrooms and wild boars, because they still contain increased levels of cesium. Independent scientists compare Fukushima with Chernobyl, some even say it has been worse. (The four reactors are still emitting radioactive material!) Over 12 million litres of radioactive water have been disposed of into the Pacific Ocean, entering into the food chain (in addition to the actual radioactive fallout through the air); 99 million litres of highly radioactive water is still emitted as radioactive steam.
Do we know where the salmon and seaweed in our sushi come from? Do we know what the freighters passing through radioactive waters and entering the Vancouver harbour carry with them?

For buyers from Vancouver, it's even better. They can catch one of three direct Harbour Air flights a day by float plane from the Vancouver Harbour and land directly at the Comox Bay Marina, then walk to their new home-away-from-home.

If Metro Vancouver thinks it is so great to build an incinerator in someone else's backyard then why do they not build it in Stanley Park, given that they feel there is no harm to anyone? Just barge it over to Victoria and dump it in the harbour.

Three once-in-a-lifetime fun summer experiences you really don’t want to miss.
Fly— What could be more B.C. than a floatplane ride? It will give you a bird’s eye view of our unique topography and capture the essence of the place where we live. Harbour Air offers “flightseeing” tours over Vancouver (and Victoria too) that will supercharge your senses. Consider a city look ($99 per person, $289 per family), a fly-to-Victoria-then-ferry-back-to-Vancouver package ($179) or a Mail Run ($185). On a mail run, you ride along with the locals on regularly scheduled service flights from Vancouver Harbour to the villages of the Gulf Islands. This trip is different each time, depending on the day’s pick-up stops.

Cruise— Many of the West Coast’s most spectacular homes are on the water. Rent a runabout at Sewell’s Marina in Horseshoe Bay and treat yourself to a tour of West Vancouver’s Amalfi-like shoreline. Pick up a 17-foot 60-horsepower Hourston Glasscraft, which seats six, and keep it for two hours—great tourist value for $126 (a 15-footer is even less expensive). Travel a total distance of 10 kilometres (about an hour each way), following the West Vancouver shoreline in and out of the coves to the foot of 29th Avenue. Along the way you’ll classic post and beam designs, ’80s, ’90s and oughties contemporaries, new shingle-style homes, a Mediterranean manse, a faux chateau and a spectacular arts and crafts revival.
