Vancouver, Quebec, and Toronto all have some form of water-based transport. Why don't we?

Well in all three and world wide really we are talking about at tiny niche generally out of necessity. You don't see a ferry from Burlington to downtown for example which is way more congested. North Van has a good ferry but it brings you right downtown crossing where it is too wide to build a bridge.
Generally we have sufficient capacity already so the "need" for another bridge is dubious anyway.
