The US Coast Guard is a military branch unlike the Canadian counterpart. I referred to it as such as the tension reported by the press is usually along the lines of gunboat diplomacy and fishing rights in the Dixon Entrance. One example of the US showing of their military muscle was in a PBS special. A US secret submarine mission meant to sneak through the Hecate Straight but they were discovered by the Canadian Coast Guard. ~Lucky Day

[edit] Map is wrong...
It appears to be of a Regional District, or...federal riding? This is not a point-location map as with other BC towns; I've never liked the basemap used for these anyway, but Prince Rupert does definitely not include the Charlottes...Skookum1 07:10, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Weather section
Uh, "City of Rainbows"? You have to have sunshine to have rainbows.....is that a city slogan? It should state it that way; "known as" implies/states that other people know the sobriquet; I'm from BC and I don't. A similar rain-country pitchline is "Rainbow Country" for the Chilliwack-Upper Fraser Valley area. At least they have more than 100 days of sunshine. Which brings me to teh family from South Africa who were granted asylum in Canada so their sunlight-allergic kids could play outside (i.e. in Prince Rupert). I don't have a cite or I'd add the story.Skookum1 (talk) 12:52, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
