A comment on Saving Canada's only desert.

That area is just the northern tip of a larger "desert" area in Washington State. There's plenty of "desert" in that area. It's just mostly on the other side of the border.

It looks more like Silicon Valley in dry season than a real desert.

"a real desert"

What does that look like? Antarctica is the largest desert in the world, does it look like "a real desert"?

just because it doesn't have acres of sand, doesn't mean its not desert - large portions of California are just that - Semi Arid Plains
