It's far too simplistic to suggest that just because someone may not have taken a ferry, they didn't spend money in B.C. in some other facet."
I guess no one told Todd that they made the report simplistic so he could understand it.
The report explains a simple concept. When you price people out of the market the market shrinks, but don't tell Ms Photo Op and her thick minion that because, apparently it's far to complex for them to comprehend.
Anybody want to bet though that if the Islands voted Liberal it would go along way in making the current Gov't understand the complexities of how a free market works.
Haven't taken a BC Ferry since 1988, no idea what the rates are now. Just know a LOT of people here who ruled out vacations or visits because of them. We just took the ferry from Port Au Basques to NS this summer. We ADDED that to our vacation plan, it wasn't that much.
