willy Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Stoker, One more little thing, they had to wright off $200 million in debt before they privatized. If that is fine, fine has a new definition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caesar Posted September 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 now this rotten BC Ferries organization just gave the craft shops that have been at the terminals until September 10 to vacate the premises. These businesses are often owned by seniors who have invested in these businesses for their senior years income. Now they get less than 30 days notice that they are to be evicted. On top of the rent they paid; they were paying over 18% commision to the Ferry Corporation. Shoddy treatment; doesn't sound fair or legal to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caesar Posted September 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 The story of these vendors was in the Province front page this morning. I guess big brother said that was a no no; this is all I can get of the story online: Vendors told to vacateTimes were different at the Tsawwassen ferry terminal when Barbara Dion first started selling her homemade hats and embroidered T-shirts there more than 18 years ago.

caesar Posted September 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Vendors get one week eviction notice according to tv. How is this fair or legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 They always close after labour day for the winter. They are building larger facilities. If these vendors like they can apply for the new space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caesar Posted September 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Where did you get that information on closing? What difference does that make? These businesses have had insufficient time to make needed business decisions re ordering stock, clearance sale, moving arragements; finding a place to move their stock to. It is a nasty inconcieveably unfair way to treat long term tenants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
