If we can make it there, we can make it anywhere!

Our little burg has been discovered by the Wall Street Journal!

My little Google news alert service tipped me to the news that the Financial paper of record in America had decided to do a little story on Prince Rupert and it's big plans for attracting Asian growth.

Of course, it being the Wall Street Journal it's all about capitalism, so we're supposed to pay to read the story. If anyone out there has a subscription to the Journal's on line service, then the story is waiting there for you, all 2,131 words of financial wisdom.

Those with time on their hands can try any number of search engines trying to find a back door entry to the Journal story. Sometimes you get lucky if you use Google, Alta Vista, Yahoo or some other service to seek out the story title. But so far, it's a story out of reach for your faithful Podunkian servant.

For those of us too poor to have a Journal subscription, it's down to Eddies or over to the Library to see what the big money players think of our port, our plans and our future.
