In a radio appearance today, B.C. Ferry Services Inc. president and CEO David Hahn challenged the accuracy of a recent Tyee story.
B.C. Almanac host Mark Forsythe noted that even some B.C. Ferries employees refer to the new German-built Super C-class ships as “gas guzzlers.”
Hahn responded, “"That's from The Tyee, and we can't believe anything they publish."
The original story was based on an internal B.C. Ferries e-mail from Barbara Britton-Wilson, the director of catering services, to the catering departments on 16 ships.
In that e-mail Britton-Wilson used the term "gas guzzlers", instructing employees to stop using the phrase in reference to the new Super C-class ships.
Here is that e-mail.
