Today's mail brought a flyer from our Green Party MP, Elizabeth May, explaining the glut of freighters in Gulf Island anchorages.
It seems all about scheduling. After decades of experience in coordinating the sale and delivery of grain through our Canada Wheat Board, that board was eliminated by the then Federal Government and no effective replacement has appeared.
The present chaos in delivery results in the glut of freighters in our anchorages. Transport Canada, pressed to find anchorages for the glut of waiting vessels, has designated 30 such anchorages in the Gulf Islands.
No answer is presently on the horizon.
