Explaining what I meant was fairly obvious, wasn't it....?

I'm sure it makes sense to you and the other voices in your head

Eby thinks it’s popular to bash the Feds.  He knows intra-provincial ferries are provincial responsibility.  But he has to say something to appease the ignorant BC’ers who can’t tell the difference between inter and intra. 

The mainland to Vancouver Island is part of the Trans Canada Highway. Or don't you consider Vancouver Island part of Canada?

OK.  Provinces maintain the Trans Canada.

I think the feds are favouring the martimes because that is where they get a lot of Liberal votes.  Not so much from Vancouver Island.  We saw the same scenario when the feds stopped the carbon tax on certain types of heating systems in the maritimes, but not in the rest of Canada.  Again votes count.

ROFLMAO...

BC is complaining about the cost of fairies. 

Well BC...that's what you get when you cultivate millions of fairies.

Well well well, is this how the patchwork of hatred works? All the provinces hate each other but pay to stay because why? 51st would solve your problem altogether. Stubborn Canucks just don’t know what is good for them.

Ya, all the US states love each other. The costliest war in our history wasn't fighting each other.

Atlantic Canada gets $300 to support its. Ferry system for every $1 BC gets. Maybe Ottawa should STFU about where BC buys its ferries.

Time definitely works different there. As the saying goes, " I spent a couple of great days there one afternoon" .

Atlantic ferries are federal jurisdiction as they are interprovincial.   BC Ferries is a private company within a province.

Marine Atlantic is an independent crown corporation. No different from BC Ferries which is just important to national infrastructure as Atlantic ferries. 

This wouldn't have been as much of an issue if the feds hadn't mouthed off about BC's ferry purchase and cut fares on the Atlantic ferries by 50%. Some that cut is being bankrolled by BC taxpayers.

TreeBeard spends his life making up phony posts just for entertainment.   They are meant to stir further argument and disagreement.

What did I say that was incorrect?

BC Ferries is not a crown corporation.  It used to be.

I agree.  It’s still an attempt at a distraction by Eby.   Unfortunately, that tactic actually works.
