Might as well. They seem to think our coasts are their business.

Yeah and if the ferries weren't so popular with albertans maybe they would be usable again. Kidding really, but still a ton of red plates on sailings (at least 10%). British Columbians subsidize the ferries and tourism makes them basically inaccessible for locals at times.

In fairness the locals make it inaccesible for locals at times too.
