mirror Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 This has got to have been one of the most stupid decisions ever made in Canada privizing BC Ferries. It is incredible the number of breakdowns that BCers have experienced recently, and there are rumours floated around that these mechanical problems are due to proper lack of maintenance because of managment performance bonuses. We have had enough of these problems. It is time to sack the President, remember the buck stops here, eh, and nationalize the ferries so that people in BC will have a reliable ferry service once again. Tide of troubles at B.C Ferries Quote
apollo19 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 This has got to have been one of the most stupid decisions ever made in Canada privizing BC Ferries. It is incredible the number of breakdowns that BCers have experienced recently Actually much of the maintenance and fleet was deferred by the NDP during the '90s, and the government reorganized the company in a great way -- making it a corporation, but the only voting share is held by the government, so in essence they can still change it if required, but the company is less political and freer to make efficiency improvements.

cybercoma Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 To quote Hugo: If the government owning the LCBO is such a good idea, why not extend it to automobile dealerships, food stores, hell why not the entire retail industry? Substitute LCBO with BC Ferries. Quote
mirror Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Posted September 1, 2005 Five breakdowns this week on B.C. Ferries There is no question there is something fundamentally wrong with the management of BC Ferries. We need a public inquiry as for a lot of people in BC this is like having your highway shut down. Quote
