Yeah the bias is immediately obvious, it's not even their photo so they very deliberately chose this

I wish it was possible to convince trump supporters that he's literally not on their side

Lots of rentals in the summer months. But yeah probably like half the people are residents during peak tourism

Well my polish people live in a village where they quite literally are not using an email address, at least not wanting to communicate this way

But tourists are making plans and are happy to make the reservations. Many have rental cars and already know their exact travel dates months in advance.

There aren't many residents actually using the ferry so I don't think many people would notice a difference in service if there was a BC residents only ferry lane that boards first. Within reason of course. I think 20% of every sailing is reserved for drive on customers? Why not 5% reserved for BC residents who pay taxes to subsidize these ships?

This is a great comment. Thanks.

Maybe I am just spoiled but I take the ferry to Vancouver almost once per month outside of the summer months.

Yeah but some of the cost is subsidized

Don't you think residents should be able to simply show up? Things happen in life where you might not be so lucky to be able to plan like that.

The majority of people using the ferries today for example are not residents.

How does that work at a university for example? Multiple reddit accounts same household?
