OK folks help me out here...I am trying figure out the Conservative economic mindset? So the UBCM issues a report prepared by Larose Research & Strategy that shows higher rates is killing ridership on BC Ferries and sucking the life out of the Island economy to the tune of $2.3 Billion. ...... and the BC Liberals are ALL about stimulating the economy through cutting Provincial Corporate Tax and Royalty rates (LNG) to attract investment creating jobs and therefore building a strong economy for BC....in fact the BC Liberals believe that so strongly that they want to lock this rate cutting strategy in stone so no future Governments can raise our corporate tax structure with respect to LNG. Why then are the BC Liberals not stimulating the Island economy by attracting more investment through lower ferry rates building a strong economy for BC? Why is cutting rates good free enterprise Government business for one sector but not the other? One could say that BC Ferries is a Crown Corporation operated independently of the Provincial Government and that raising rates and cutting routes is done independently of Government....but that doesnt explain Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s meddling with B.C. Ferries president Mike Corrigans decisions/options with respect to cutting Nanaimo-Horseshoe Bay?..... looking very much like the BC Liberals pull the strings of BC Ferries. So the BC Liberals could stimulate BCs economy to the tune of $2.3 Billion by cutting rates on our BC Ferries and with the increased ridership, this UBCM report states, could also lift the Ferry Corporation out of the red by filling the boats with customers....What is the problem?.....or is there another goal the BC Liberals have in mind for BC Ferries?
