Now if you go 800kms north to quesnel or PG, take that same immigrant put him in a car with 4 studded snowtires, half the population can run heavy equipment, buy lots of snow removal equipment, -20 temps and cold dry snow ... STOP for 5 months of the year and everything works no problem
I once partied with/met a Kitsault mining engineer who told me "we buy our liquor by the case and our pot by the lb ...do it right"
