I am so sick of seeing boaters with zero respect for firefighters.
This happens every year, and nothing really gets done to resolve the issue.
There is a very simple fix for this.
- Take the fire department boat out that has the large water cannon on it, and start blasting boats.
- Have the rcmp impound boats for three months.
- Have the helicopters drop a few buckets of water on or right beside the boats that shouldn't be there.
The problem is, from what I can see, no real repercussions other than a slap on the wrist.
Clearly, what we have been doing in past years is not working.
