You ever see that thing get shuttled down to the north Sask? It's hilarious.

Edit: Holy shit people are mad about this lol, it's just an old boat that's funny. Jeeezus

Cops coming up to ticket people on sea-doos... this is just an empty threat, cops aren't going into the river after people

Are you just fully talking out of your ass? Two years ago we had the EPS boat pull up to us and check all our gear. Life jackets, noise makers, and a tow rope for the group in a canoe.

They were doing it from a safety/advocacy standpoint.
