    The terminal is set to be running by the mid 2030s and the expansion would allow the port to handle an additional 2.4 million twenty-foot equivalent units a year. That represents a 70 per cent increase to the port’s 2024 container volume of 3.5 million. Vancouver’s port says it already handles almost as much cargo as the next five largest Canadian ports combined. Article content

    Pang said the port hasn’t got a policy to penalize bidders from any particular country, such as China or the U.S., despite a movement in the country to steer government contracts to domestic companies. British Columbia’s ferry company, for example, is embroiled in a political controversy over a major contract that was awarded to China. But suppliers of building materials from Canada would have natural advantages because they’re closer, Pang said.

    This is a load of bullshit. Who makes the money here? Who give control over the port to a private enterprise here?

    Who? Fucking? Wins? Here???

    I supported Carney from the start. If this is what he’s aiming at completing I’m walking away … with the hopes that he FUCKING STOPS N O W with this shit.

    Read it and weep asswipe.

    As it stands right now you’re not leading, you’re following.

      The Canadian government is the sole share-holder of the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority. It is an agency of the Canadian government.
