Behemoth Dept: They call them aftershocks, but they are still violent. There have been more than 500 in the week since the magnitude nine behemoth off the northeast coast, many of them as large or larger than the one than ravaged Christchurch, N.Z., earlier this year, according to Vancouver Sun. "You've got the tsunami, you've got the nuclear reactor thing, you've got the day-to-day stress that is compounded by those two factors and you've got that fourth thing, which is that people are worried about the aftershocks coming in and what that portends." says Rod Szasz, a self-employed 50 year-old businessman from B.C. who has lived with his family in Japan for most of the past 20 years and a week after the monster quake and tsunami devastated Japan, the ground still shakes. For a Canadian family living in Tokyo, fear that the next one may be right underfoot adds another layer of tension to daily life that is still far from normal. As
