....Hate His Passengers So Much?
OK.
As hard as it is for me to say this, I have to give the Millionare-In-Chief of BC Ferries, David Hahn, credit for something.
Because when he and his first changed the longterm parking fee structure out at Tsawwassen it was something I found entirely sensible.
Which is that if you parked a little farther from the terminal you only had to pay $9.00 per day instead of the $12.00 a day the Beemer droppers don't even care about when their executive assistants write it off.
And what made it even more sensible (and fair-minded) was the fact that there was a shuttle that could get both seniors and families to the ticket window from outer Mongolia in a reasonable time.

So.
Imagine my surprise when I arrived at Tsawwassen yesterday and found that ALL the longterm parking is now $16.00 per day.
And, despite the fact that this is now considerably more than you'll pay even at YVR, that is not the worst of it.
Why?
Because of a sign left by Davey Boy's minions that says:
"To our loyal customers. Shuttle service is not currently available. Thank-you for your understanding."
Or some such codswallop.
Sheesh.

And, on a not totally unrelated subject...Any guesses on how far Mr. Hahn and minions will push BC Ferries into the (paper-based) hole to make it an even more attractive privatization target based on massive tax write-offs?

Tsawwassen Parking Information
Long-term parking area: $11.00 for 6 hours
$16.00 for 24 hours
Swartz Bay Parking Information
Long-term parking area: $6.00 for 6 hours
$12.00 for 24 hours
No towing trucks provided for the latter.
I wonder why the pricing isn't equal on both sides and the threat of being towed, seems quite lopsided to me.
Sigh.. Im still waiting for something, anything! to go down in price anywhere in this province, my parking fees where i work jumps by 9 dollars up 30 % any chance impark is at the ferry terminals ?
Thanks NVG!
(I didn't look at Swartz)

I had a look at Elections BC PCS, aka FRPC, and found it to be out of order, however, doing a search on Google using "Allan Copping BC Liberals" came up with this from good old Public Eye Online......

Beneficiary of political donation from Impark is the BC Liberal Party

It would appear that buying a license to print money is very cheap in The Best Place On Earth (to screw the people) these days.
