Queen of the North
Sank last year after ramming into Gill Island.
Two people died, the rest saved.
Two of the crew on the bridge at the time have refused to co-operate with investigators.
They have now been fired. GOOD
Union is as stupid as can be in their responses.

From: out there somewhere...
My family has used every form of ferry travel that has ever existed to get from Horseshoe Bay to The Sunshine Coast (and the Island) including BC ferries for over 75 years...and BC ferries has slipped slowly beneath the surface...again! They run over anyone that gets in the way...buy useless craft at government insistance, then sell them cheap. They take our money happily and STILL get subsidies under the guise of required service. (Northern Coast communities, I apologise...you guys need the service) About the only good thing on board might be the clam chowder! The Union is only doing what they have always done, protecting the useless and lazy! The good officers of BC ferries have talent and dedication, but often move on to "blue water" operations with major cruise companies, the rest hop around the lower coast in relatively unchallenged protection...just my opinion.

I guess if I was to say..."whatever floats their boat"... it wouldn't be very funny would it?
