Didn't I see somewhere that Ferries banned waiting in your car during the voyage? I heard it was for Transport Canada safety purposes but maybe it's better to just let people sit in their damn cars.

You can't stay in your vehicle if you are on the closed lower car deck and yes that is a Transport Canada stipulation (law?). They did waive that initially for COVID-19, but I think they have put that on place, but are making masks mandatory for all passengers. If you are on the upper car deck, you can stay in your car.

Employees were harassed quite badly ... union response to members not being protected? ... is my tin foil hat on too tight or is this related? Sailings were cancelled due to mechanical issues sunday and now today as well. lol

Mechanical issue forces BC Ferries to cancel several sailings

Ah. Gotta pick the correct lane then lol

I took it for the first time to Gibson's back in September toward the end of the smoke nightmare and was in the lower deck and they didn't bother us in the car, which was nice because we had both stayed up all night (her at work, me at home playing Mario Kart 64) and needed that extra half hour.

I wonder if they owned the W Georgia property down by Stanley Park.
ka-fucking-ching.

of course, the city taxing properties at "highest and best use" pretty much forced the sale.
