Just a little bit different from the several million coming up from the south don't you think?

They can be glad they're not Fenians.
That one actually spurred the provinces to unite to better defend themselves against those pesky Americans.

I wonder who, if anyone, will get billed for costs of the rescues.
I think the fact that many were drunk should be factored into any kind of action taken; drunks w/o marine navigation knowledge are a hazard and endanger those who are legitimately on the river.
Maybe they should be mandated for sobriety and navigation courses.

I'm doubtful the issue of "navigation" applies to inflatable pool toys. Just your run of the mill lifesaving exercise, though on a somewhat larger scale than usual.
No doubt polite diplomatic notes have been exchanged regarding keeping the drunks in our side of the border.... might be next year they'll get greeted by the cops. Even in summer people could have died.

I find it very unCanadian, especially considering that works out to about $0.12 CAD per Sarnian. I'm sure the Sarnians can spare the equivalent of a couple Made in the USA four-hole buttons. |
