Niagara Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 "The tourist hot spot of Niagara Falls has gained a new photo-op for social distancing At the famous waterfalls on the U.S.-Canadian border, Canadian ferries are limited to just six passengers per boat, out of a 700 person capacity. But on the U.S. side, the ferries are operating at 50% capacity, according to Maid of the Mist boat tours... Mory DiMaurizio, general manager and vice president of Canada’s Hornblower Niagara Cruises, said the limits placed on its business by the Ontario provincial government were “disappointing” and that it was “frustrating” to see the American boats relatively full., said the limits placed on its business by the Ontario provincial government were “disappointing” and that it was “frustrating” to see the American boats relatively full." https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/2-boats-niagara-falls-show-122553027.html Wonder if Hornblower Niagara Cruises is now happy they outbid MO the Mist for the concession.
US Egg Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 How did Cuomo allow New York this kind of advantage? .....probably won't last for long.
njbuff Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) I wonder how much it is costing Canada (meaning the Ferry service on the Canadian side) to tote their ferries back and forth with virtually zero capacity? Edited July 22, 2020 by njbuff
123719bwiqrb Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Yeahbutt they get gyms, movie theaters and hockey rinks this week. So for someone like me who hasn’t skated since Rudy Gobert, I’d rather be a hoser canuck right now. 1 1

KD in CA Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 6 passengers on a boat for 700? Why not just shut it down entirely? It certainly costs a lot more than six tickets to operate. 47 minutes ago, plenzmd1 said: Hmmmm https://financialpost.com/news/economy/justin-trudeaus-gaping-deficit-begins-new-era-of-debt-for-canada Oops. Oh well....if they don't mind Saint Justin showing up in blackface I'm guessing they won't mind a little budget deficit. 2
