@edhollett That indeed was more the crux of my reply.
Respect, sir.
Nevertheless, I see your point. Human, indeed.

@Sedgecat Comparing travel to islands looks like a sensible thing.
But implicitly suggesting they should be the same cost is where it goes off.
There is no logical reason for two different things to be the same.
Your comment is a common one in NL but it is built on a fallacy not logic.
English

An educator teaches us about specious reasoning and poor critical thinking skills.
These are common human traits.
Very hard to overcome even for well-educated people.

Crossing bridge to PEI: $58.25 CAD Crossing ferry from NL: $889.97 CAD Nobody caring: Priceless. @VOCMOpenline @CBCNL @PeterCBC

@edhollett I didn't think comparing the actual cost of traveling to two island provinces, with my actual vehicle and load, in the same country, was comparing unconnected things. Perhaps I was wrong? I know a bridge and a boat are different things.
English

@Sedgecat You mixed up two unconnected things and drew or invited an irrelevant comparison.
Looks plausible but isn't.
That is a textbook example of specious reasoning.

@Sedgecat @VOCMOpenline @CBCNL @PeterCBC My cost last week for 2 adults, a vehicle and a cabin..no where near $889 (but still too much.)

@fallingintoadv1 @VOCMOpenline @CBCNL @PeterCBC Didn't intend to mislead anyone. Both are return trips. SUV + trailer. 4 passengers, one cabin (don't sleep on a bridge though, I suppose). I should have specified, I agree, but ignorant? Ouch.

@Sedgecat @VOCMOpenline @CBCNL @PeterCBC How? Break down the numbers for us. It seems very misleading. That must be something like a vehicle + trailer, four tickets and a cabin going to or from Argentia.

@2damat @VOCMOpenline @CBCNL @PeterCBC This is to the cent. Round trip in both cases. SUV and small travel-trailer.

@LollyGagger22 @VOCMOpenline @CBCNL @PeterCBC This is return (both cases). SUV and small 17" ultralight trailer.
