When will the next large (>7) earthquake felt in Vancouver, BC?

Voided

Unfortunately because the market doesn't allow for a date range between Dec. 2 and Dec. 30th it has to be voided.

Background:

There's been a lot of earthquake activity around BC and the US northwest in the past few months. Will the "the big one" come soon?

All questions are settled by Hubdub according to settlement info provided by the question creator.

Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
The quake could be anywhere in and around Vancouver, mostly on the Juan de Fuca plate. The epicenter could be in washington state or past vancouver island for example. But the magnitude needs to be at or over 7 on the Richter scale and have been widely felt in the city of Vancouver. If this has not occured by the end of 2008 then the answer will be "lots of time (after Dec 31, 2008)"

Suspend date: Thu 1st Jan 2009 11:59pm PST (17 weeks to go)

Initial likelihoods: really soon (before March 1, 2008): 10%, soon enough (later but before June 1, 2008): 10%, enough time to stock up (later but before Dec 1, 2008): 10%, lots of time (after dec 31,2008): 70%
