Without this PSA people could be walking around with Nuclear weapons!

 

lol, I am packing my bags right now and moving west from Toronto lol

 

where did you find that ryan?

 

I have one in my hometown outside in Illinois... there are morons all over the globe.

 

That was sent to me by a friend on Vacation to the great white north about 3 years ago. Been sitting on a gold mine of quality images but without internets at home they take quite a while to migrate to the internets....

 

I dont know about the claim. Vancouver is very close to the USA and I am sure near the border there are for certain USA Nuke silos still in the ground. Plus USA Nuke Subs of the coast. lol how big of a zone are we talking about here lol

 

Berkeley, CA has those signs as well....

Canada

Vancouver is a nuclear weapons free city. Victoria, British Columbia also is nuclear weapons free city. This has caused problems as nearby Esquimalt houses CFB Esquimalt, Canada's Pacific naval base and is used frequently by the United States Navy. The USN routinely sends ships or aircraft carriers loaded with nuclear weapons to Esquimalt. As a result, the ships are forced to dock out of the city limits as not to violate the city by-laws. Kitimat, British Columbia; Red Deer, Alberta, and Regina, Saskatchewan are also nuclear weapons-free cities.

Another well-known nuclear-free community is Berkeley, California, whose citizens passed the Nuclear Free Berkeley Act in 1986 which allows the city to levy fines for nuclear weapons-related activity and to boycott companies involved in the United States nuclear infrastructure. The City of Berkeley has posted signs at each of its borders proclaiming its nuclear free status, which specifies possible fines for such activities within its borders. However, the University of California, Berkeley is deeply involved in the history of nuclear weapons, and the University of California system until recently managed operations at Los Alamos National Laboratory, a U.S. nuclear weapons design laboratory, and continues to manage the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. As well, at the time of the passage of the act, the University operated a nuclear reactor for research purposes, which it continued to operate after the act went into effect. However, The University of California, as a state institution, is not subject to Berkeley's municipal regulations (including the ban). Berkeley also has major freeway and train lines which are used in transporting nuclear materials.

I couldnt find a link to the source document, but back in about 2002-2003 there was an article that came out where if Washington state was its own country it would be the 11th largest nuclear power in the world.

WA has the ability to produce weapons grade plutonium, and with Bangor nuclear sub base, plus the afore mentioned silos at the border pointing towards Canada, we're pretty bad-***!


Berserkly can have as many signs as they want, every resident there is bordering on bat-**** crazy (I keed)

 

Yup you are pretty much correct with that statement. They don't call it Berzerkeley for nothing.

There is a similar sign in Vancouver on Granview right past Boundary right after you exit the highway
