It's almost like somewhere around 2004... something changed :-P

BC Ferries was operating at a loss between 1960 and 2004... but it was a government corporation and didn't really "need" to run at a profit. As soon as it was privatized and that American CEO stepped in, things started going wrong.

Now it's a complete shit show. The working conditions and contracts that the staff are employed under are insane. Yeah, they can't find employees... not much wonder.
