FastCat Fiasco

FastCat Fiasco or Fast Ferries Fiasco was the name given to a BC NDP blunder which cost over $450 million. The BC NDP Government, with then premier Glen Clark spearheaded the construction of the disaster called PacifiCats which were designed to improve transport service from Horseshoe Bay[?] in West Vancouver[?] to Departure Bay[?] in Nanaimo[?].

The ferries cause or have the following problems

  • Gas Guzzlers
  • Not much improvement from conventional vessels
  • Created Tidal Wakes which damaged waterfront property
  • No Trucks allowed
  • Many more....

The PacifiCats are being auctioned off for scrap metal.
