I experienced my first magnitude 7.0-7.5 earthquake when I was 22 months old. It almost knocked me to the ground. That 1946 Vancouver Island earthquake struck Vancouver Island on June 23, 1946 at 10:15 a.m. with a magnitude estimated at 7.0 Ms and 7.5 Mw. The main shock epicenter occurred in the Forbidden Plateau area northwest of Courtenay. While most of the large earthquakes in the Vancouver area occur at tectonic plate boundaries, the 1946 Vancouver Island earthquake was a crustal event. Shaking was felt from Portland, Oregon, to Prince Rupert, British Columbia. There were a whole series of landslides in the Forbidden Plateau area that blocked streams and rivers to create lakes. The first hikers into the area gave them great names, Landslide Lake, Rock Fall Lake, Earthquake Lake etc.; over time these natural dams were eroded to nothing, leaving nothing but fading memories of those lakes. This earthquake is Canada's largest historic onshore earthquake. Canada has only been around for 155 years
Three years later, an earthquake, an M8.1, struck at 8:01 p.m. PDT on August 2, 1949 in Haida Gwaii [formerly Queen Charlotte Islands], an interplate earthquake that occurred on the ocean bottom just off the west coast of the main south island. The shock had a surface wave magnitude of 8.1 and a maximum Mercalli Intensity of VIII (Severe).

The Active Volcano in Canada; Mount Meager
https://youtu.be/GDstNmXemhI [4:25 minutes]
19,291 views • Apr 8, 2021 • Within Canada is a volcano that relatively recently produced an eruption comparable in size to the 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens. The volcano in question is known as Mount Meager, which is still relatively active today as evidenced by its hot springs and fumaroles. This video covers the recent eruptions from this volcano, including its 410 BC Eruption, and states the general hazard which it poses in the future. This video was made by a geologist who is based in Arizona. If you would like to support this channel, consider becoming a patron at http://patreon.com/geologyhub.

All science STOPS when you say Climate Change. "Climate change could wake up Canada's dormant volcanoes". Climate change?, balderdash.
1. IT IS ACTIVE !
2. IT IS ON THE MOVE !, and
3. IT IS PART OF THE CASCADIA VOLCANIC ARC !
You would think that scientists would follow scientific methods; not jump to irrational, UNSCIENTIFIC spectacular conclusions ~ a cause célèbre from some reality TV show whose fame will not even lasted the proverbial 15 minutes? Everything, but everything today is blamed on human caused Climate change?, balderdash. Does that make sense to anyone, at all.

Scientists at Simon Fraser University argue that climate change is destabilizing volcanoes around the world, and they're using a British Columbia mountain range to prove their theory. Not far from Whistler, Mount Meager shows signs of dangerous things to come, which has researchers keeping a very close eye on it.

The 2010 Mount Meager landslide was a large catastrophic debris avalanche that occurred in southwestern British Columbia, Canada, on August 6 at 3:27 a.m. PDT (UTC-7). More than 45,000,000 m (1.6×10 cu ft) of debris slid down Mount Meager, temporarily blocking Meager Creek and destroying local bridges, roads and equipment. It was one of the largest landslides in Canadian history and one of over 20 landslides to have occurred from the Mount Meager massif in the last 10,000 years.
2020-03-04 · Mount Meager landslide risk. Picture: CBC. Mount Meader ice splits apart. The ice covering the sleeping volcano is splitting apart, revealing the bottom of the glacier about 30 to 40 meters (98 to 131 feet) below as if someone took a laser and melted the middle of the glacier. The three fumaroles feature the increasing instability of the volcano and the need for 24-hour monitoring and alarm ...
2011-08-04 · The site of last year's Mount Meager landslide is seen here on Friday (July 30). The area remains scarred from the massive rock avalanche that is now considered the largest on record in Canadian history. Photo by Photo by Dave Steers / www.wpnn.org Patrick Smith won't likely ever forget the early morning hours of Aug. 6, 2010.
The Meager landslide was caused by a massive collapse of Mount Meager's south flank. All post-collapse pictures were provided by Dave Steers, a member of the Pemberton Search and Rescue team. (Mount Meager South Flank Collapse Causes Second Largest Landslide in Canadian History)
