So there seems to be a lot of noise tonight on the chatterbox about how thousands of people have signed a petition to have the ferries returned to government care.
The gist of the conversation appears to be that people who live on islands should not have to pay the true cost of transportation to and from their island of choice.
Is this a valid point? Is the ferry system to be considered part of the highway system that supposedly is paid for by all highway and non highway users....or should the true cost of transportation be born by the user?
Why should the guy that lives in Prince George pay for more than what he is using and the islander pay less?
I have no idea if this is the petition that was put forward or not but online petitions don't seem as effective as the old fashioned parking lot campaigns.
