And yet, the AP style guide states that a space on each side of the em dash is required.
Jon, at some point in time, you will need to realize that just because it's not being done the way you would prefer, that it is not wrong. Unless you can provide images of the stone tablets you brought down from the mountain with those rules on them, please stop trying to make your opinions sound like authoritative facts.

I was at the Tsawwassen ferry terminal for a Vancouver–Victoria sailing on Friday when the couple in the car ahead of mine—a couple of real twits—almost missed the sailing when they wandered off to walk their dog.

Note the en dash between Vancouver/Victoria is used in the sense 'to' much as in Monday–Friday. So it can be correct to mix en and em dashes in the same sentence, even an en dash with no spaces.
