Show Notes
British Columbia Premier David Eby is advocating for more federal funding for B.C. Ferries, as East Coast ferries receive significantly more support per rider. The federal government recently cut fares in Eastern Canada, while B.C. Ferries struggles with a one-dollar per rider funding gap. Eby is also pushing back against the choice of a Chinese shipyard for new electric-diesel vessels, citing the lack of Canadian bids and the potential impact on local jobs. Without additional support, B.C. Ferries warns that fares could increase by over thirty percent by 2028. Eby is calling for equity in federal funding for ferries across Canada.
