BC Ferries being down a vessel due to repairs

... with no spare or recovery plan.

Keep in mind this is the real issue: BCFC's bad execution of a nonexistent business continuity plan.

For an essential service, a real one, this kind of plan is just as essential: how up-in-arms would we have been if BCTel only worked half the time over the long weekend? We'd have pitchforks and torches and a goal to misbehave.

Bad things happen: repairs go bad, boats get damaged, etc. How they prepare for it and respond to it - or, in this case, how BCFC doesn't - says a lot about adequacy and fitness for service.

Again, BCFC is Not making the grade. And when we can't do a good job as a user-fee service, what do we do? We bring it back into MoT.
