$1:

Depending on the size of the smoke plume and direction of the wind, ash from an eruption would float into Canadian airspace, affecting air quality and flight schedules.

Close the freakin borders!

Jesus Christ, nature takes it course, and they are talking about "Canadian Airspace"

I remember when Mt. St. Helens blew its top back in the 80s. Edmonton didn't get a lot of ash thankfully, but other parts of Canada did. Depending on the way the jetstream is moving, Edmonton could wind up with a lot this time around.

It was pretty thick here in southern Alberta,I was in Kallispell coming home when the dust starting crossing into Canada,it was brutal.We were told by caterpillar not to run the machinery for a few days.

Should be interesting anyways
I wasn't here when Mt.St.Helens went

Umm ya, because tons of ash in the air could seriously effect civilian air travel. Depending on how it travels, could end up affecting Vancouver Airport and all the flights that go in and out of it each day.

[Brenda]

yeah, and Anchorage or ANY other part of the sky is not affected?

Really, build a 40,000 ft wall around Canada...

[Brenda]

oh, yeah, I forgot all about that...

Not the point, Brenda. They mention Canadian airspace because well.... we're Canadian.

I think it is because when they say "Canadian airspace" like that, it suggests that their is a deliberacy to the act, as if some intelligent force intended the ash to cross our borders

That was my thought, yes

[Chumley]

Yes.Yes. A malevolent will, a dark force, bent upon covering Canada in ash from the U.S.
The evidence is evident sheeple, and can be found at surftofind.com if you will just open your eyes. Open your eyes!

I was living in Vernon BC and I remember people collecting the ash and selling it as souvenirs.

[mtbr]

I remember sweeping the ash off of our deck in Calgary.

I was young,camped at surveyors lake near Cranbrook B.C. on a road trip,we headed over the roosville border into Montana that day and bought a keg from the first and last chance bar,found a farmers field,tapped it and a redneck pulled up with a shotgun hanging out the window,There was 3 carloads of us by then all drinking beer and watching this gal swing a big log at her husband.

He say's "You all get off my land".
Well after some negotiations he came out and had a few with us.
We were after all just Canadians in Montana.
When we finally headed back Mount St. Helens had allready blown,we were bombed except for the dd's and didnt notice it untill the next morning when we finally crawled out of whatever car we came back in.

First thing through my mind was someone set off the big one.
Everything was white.


It was surreal to say the least.
