Transportation Safety Board probing Toronto ferry crash
CBC
Investigators from the Transportation Safety Board are looking into what caused a Toronto ferry to strike a terminal dock last weekend, the federal agency announced Monday.
The Sam McBride ferry crashed into the downtown dock on Saturday afternoon, leaving 12 people, including two children, with minor injuries.
Passengers who were on board at the time told CBC News they thought the vessel was moving too fast as it approached the dock at the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal.
The TSB investigates incidents like this for the country's air, marine, pipeline and rail systems.
The sole aim, it said in a news release, is advancing transportation safety.
"It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability," the news release said.
The Rachel Notley government's consumer carbon tax wound up becoming a weapon the UCP wielded to drum the Alberta NDP out of office. But that levy-and-repayment program, and the wide-ranging "climate leadership plan" around it, also stood as the NDP's boldest, provincial-reputation-altering move in their single-term tenure.
