| | Canadian Forces Maritime Experimental Test Range, Nanoose Bay, BC, CANADA |
 | | Canadian Forces Maritime Experimental Test Range, CFMETR, on Nanoose Bay, on the east coast of Vancouver Island, less than 100 km from Vancouver, is the location, not only of maritime weapons tests by the USA, but also it is also the destination for many nuclear-powered and nuclear-weapons capable ships of the USA military. |
 | | Canadian taxpayers now pay $10 million for the maintenance of this facility; essentially we are glorified caretakers and housekeepers; roles that no society respects, least of all the USA. |
 | | The Canadian Department of National Defence's own study in 1995 showed that the sea bed at Nanoose Bay has had "93,000 kilometres of copper wire, and tons of lead, lithium batteries, smoke flares, sonobuoy entrails and other toxic materials" dumped on it by the US Navy's activities. |
