The reports and discussions of damage to Vancouver's Stanley Park by two recent storms are eerily reminiscent of those following the big bash of Point Pleasant Park in Halifax by Hurricane Juan in 2003. There are lots of similarities between these seaside parks that lie close to the cores of our major east and west coast port cities and now we have a new one: both have been heavily bashed by storms with suspicious links to global warming. This time, even the Tories took note, their new Minister of the Environment calling the B.C weather a "wake-up call".
