Ontario bought a pair of ferries for $94M. More than 2 years later they’re still not in service

A pair of electric ferries, purchased by the province for roughly $94 million, have yet to begin full service more than two years after arriving in the waters around Kingston, Ont.

In fact, the Amherst Islander II (AI2) has yet to transport its first passenger.

The Wolfe Islander IV (WI4), meanwhile, has welcomed aboard just 2,614 passengers to date, according to figures obtained by CBC through a freedom of information request.
