There’s a tariff on Chinese steel, but not on ferries built with it overseas. You can't build an industry by outsourcing it. #buildthemhere #riggedgame

Almost 10,000 jobs lost. A leaked report shows BC Ferries new vessels could have been built here, creating jobs and keeping more than a billion dollars in B.C. https://t.co/d18HMsOTas

Coastal communities are fed up. Breakdowns, cancellations, overcrowding: the “highway home” keeps failing. BC Ferries' broken governance model treats ferries like a business, not a lifeline. Time to fix it: https://t.co/9sWzAB35wh
