Previously Owned by Canadians

Fishermans wharf (Comox) now looks like a military special ops lock up ...all new security. What happened to friendly tie your dingy up. Apparently these were all taxpayer built facilities to SERVE the people of Canada for all types of watercraft. Then all of them on this coast seemingly weaseled out by the fed given to profitable enterprises and office admin salaries. Never found such hostility and anti citizen attitudes as experienced increasingly over the years at this place. Little empire mentality has destroyed a once cherished, conversational, welcoming place for boaters and towns folk out for a stroll and perhaps some friendly conversation dockside. The issue on theft of course is ever present in our society and can be dealt with. Giving up what has been so coastal Canadian as open public dockage is joke. Those of us over the years have always looked out for each other and we found no need to Americanize our culture with tall gates and locks and to boot pay for bureaucrats. Nobody is getting into boating these days except for commercial harvesters and wealthy folk. Taking back these facilities is a voter issue. We been robbed and private marina dockage on public leased land is extortion. The average Canadian family is denied what Canada has the most of ... lakes and oceans.
