Having ridden on a BC ferry, I would not be happy with anything less
than a fully trained captain. The route they take is torturous to say
the least. And the ships are not small by any stretch either. I guess
if you had a barge and did a crossing from up north to Nanaimo you
could get a few trucks worth of stuff over. One of the reasons my
mother hates islands.
So, are the islanders going to become a bit more self sufficient? The
other issue I see, the ferries from USA could have taken food over,
but that would have been stuck in customs. Quite the pickle.

What then happened to the ferry workers?
1) Got what they were after, no penalties
2) Got fired
3) Got thrown in jail for an illegal strike
4) None of the above
And no other people could be found who could operate a ferry?

that it's cheaper to import than to support a domestic industry.
Here on vancouver island last winter the ferry workers did an illegal
strike for two days, so no car/truck traffic to the island (600,000+
people)
The grocery stores had zero milk and vegetables on day 3, plus then a
shortage brewing of lots more critical things...
