Please hand out modern clothes, along with forks and knives, to our neighbors to the north. They can now take off their sabre tooth tiger wraps…welcome to the modern age (with tongue in cheek to my son in law and his family in Victoria). Mr. Floaty might have to stick around to project manage this thing and make sure it’s on time and under budget. There’s a bunch of stuff floating around out there until these plants get built.

After decades in which Victoria and nearby cities wouldn’t get off the pot, the British Columbia government on Thursday approved a plan to treat millions of gallons of raw sewage dumped daily into the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
"Sewage treatment will be in operation by 2016: That’s the time-line in the plan," B.C. Environment Minister Barry Penner told seattlepi.com
…"It’s unbelievable how long this has taken: It is long overdue but better than not doing it," Kathy Fletcher, executive director of People for Puget Sound said Thursday night.

We have boycotted travel to Victoria B.C. for years, have gotten the word out to friends and family and have enlisted their boycotting as well.
The absurdity of not being able to put this sewage treatment until the year 2016 is outrageous.
HERE’S TO MANY MORE YEARS OF BOYCOTTING VICTORIA B.C. AND WORKING TO GET THE WORD OUT – NO TRAVEL TO VICTORIA TIL THE SEAGE IS TREATED!
