  1. Nope.  Fraid not.

    You would have to go about 2000 miles to your northeast to see it.

  3. I don't think you can see it from Vancouver.

    "The solar eclipse that takes place on August 1, 2008 will be a total eclipse of the Sun with a magnitude of 1.039 that will be visible from a narrow corridor through northern Canada (Nunavut), middle of Russia, western Mongolia, and China. It belongs to the so-called midnight Sun eclipses, as it will be visible from regions experiencing midnight sun.

    A partial eclipse will be seen from the much broader path of the Moon's penumbra, including eastern North America and most of Europe and Asia.

    Event Time--------------------(UTC)

    Beginning of the general eclipse 08:04:06

    Beginning of the total eclipse 09:21:07

    Beginning of the central eclipse 09:24:10

    Greatest eclipse 10:21:08

    End of the central eclipse 11:18:29

    End of the total eclipse 11:21:28

    End of the general eclipse 12:38:27

    "On Friday, 2008 August 01, a total eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses half the Earth. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow begins in Canada and extends across northern Greenland, the Arctic, central Russia, Mongolia, and China. A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes northeastern North America, most of Europe and Asia.

    The eclipse will start around 8:30 a.m. Greenwich mean time in the eastern part of the arc, leading to totality in just under an hour.

    In a much wider swath of the globe—including northeastern North America along with most of Europe and Asia—people will be able to see a partial eclipse. "
