I live in Vancouver. I feel healthy. Haven't been sick since before fukushima started. everyday i've been good.
about 3-4 months ago I went for a run and it started to rain, but it felt like acid was embedded within it and I had to run home. i'm sure that has nothing to do with radiation, unless someone can correct me.

I live close to you in the Fraser Valley, and my sons and I have been sick since April almost non stop, for them. They've missed about a half of the school days since Fukushima. Stomach pains are frequent.edit on 31-10-2011 by Unity_99 because: (no reason given)
NuclearCrimes.org is a growing collection of analyses on historical and ongoing nuclear events that directly or indirectly threaten global public health. These analyses investigate cover-ups or suppressed truths that are sorely lacking in the body of knowledge concerning our nuclear age.
“High concentrations” of radiation hit US and Canada — Plume was rich in Cesium-137 and “close to the surface” from Vancouver southward — See also Hawaii, Florida (MAPS)
SOURCE: Xenon-133 and caesium-137 releases into the atmosphere from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, Stohl, A., Seibert, P., Wotawa, G., Arnold, D., Burkhart, J. F., Eckhardt, S., Tapia, C., Vargas, A., and Yasunari, T. J., October 20, 2011
Here are some excerpts concerning North America [Emphasis Added]:
“Already on 15 March, a first isolated 133Xe cloud reached western North America, followed by the arrival of high concentrations of both 133Xe and 137Cs on 19 March.”
“The main part of the radioactive plume entered western North America on 17–18 March. On 18 March at 12:00UTC, the head of the plume had already arrived over the North Atlantic, but the main part was located over the eastern Pacific Ocean and western North America, where it could be detected at monitoring sites. This part of the plume was also rich in 137Cs, as it was still close to the surface south of 50 [Most of US/Canada border is 49°]. At the same time, the plume penetrated the subtropics and arrived at Hawaii on 19 March.”
“A map of the simulated surface concentrations of 133Xe for 22 March shows that all of western North America was engulfed by the FD-NPP plume, as well as parts of eastern North America and eastern Asia.”
ABSTRACT: ACPD – Xenon-133 and caesium-137 releases into the atmosphere from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant: determination of the source term, atmospheric dispersion, and deposition.
Conclusions
In this study, we estimated the total releases of the radioactive isotopes 133Xe and
137Cs as well as their temporal emission patterns from the damaged Fukushima Daiichi
nuclear power plant (FD-NPP) in March and April 2011. The estimate is based on
15 an inverse modeling method, using the transport model FLEXPART and a large number
of available concentration and deposition measurements in Japan, North America,
Europe, and a few other locations. Despite the significant uncertainties in simulations
as well as measurements, the inversion method was able to produce model results that
are largely consistent with the measurement data.
20 Regarding the noble gas 133Xe, it is very likely that the accumulated inventory of
the reactor units 1–3 was completely set free into the atmosphere between 11 and 15
March. The study indicates a total release of 16.7 (uncertainty range 13.4–20.0) EBq,
which is the largest radioactive noble gas release in history not related to nuclear bomb
testing. The release is a factor of 2.5 higher than the Chernobyl 133Xe source term.
25 There is also strong evidence that the start of the release occurred early, already during
or shortly after the automatic emergency shutdown of the reactors triggered by the
big earthquake. This early onset of emissions is interesting and may indicate some
structural damage to the reactor units during the earthquake.
4.4.2 Hemispheric transport
During the accident events, 133Xe and 137Cs from FD-NPP were dispersed throughout
the Northern Hemisphere and eventually also reached the Southern Hemisphere. A
10 first radionuclide cloud ahead of the main plume was transported quickly across the
North Pacific at low altitudes in a steady westerly flow and arrived in western North
America on 15 March (upper right panel in Fig. 13).

It's still not an MSM article. These types of sites were saying the same thing back then.
I want to see it on Fox or CNN, THEN we can parade our tin foil hats.
Japan Nuclear Disaster Released Higher Radiation Levels Than Previously Reported, Study Finds

I have been following the Fukushima story very closely since the earthquake and devastating tsunami. I have asked scientists I know, nuclear physicists and others about where they find real information. I have also watched as the news has virtually disappeared. There is something extremely disturbing going on, and having lived through the media blackout in France back in April and early May 1986, and speaking to doctors who are deeply concerned by the dramatic increase in cancers appearing at very young ages, it is obvious that information is being held back. We are still told not to eat mushrooms and truffles from parts of Europe, not wild boar and reindeer from Germany and Finland 25 years later.
Now the Japanese government has moved to crack down on independent reportage and criticism of the government's policies in the wake of the disaster by deciding what citizens may or may not talk about in public. A new project team has been created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication, the National Police Agency, and METI to combat "rumors" deemed harmful to Japanese security in the wake of the Fukushima disaster."
