Boating and Alcohol -Rules in Ontario

No kidding. Even factoring out the exchange rate, we get gouged on marine pricing up here on most things. Not all things, but most. Its about an hour from my house to Niagara Falls and I use a pickup warehouse there to accept deliveries and run down to get things that are cheaper in the US. I have a Nexus card and the Whirlpool Bridge is Nexus-only so border crossings take about as long as a stop light.
 
I hear you, but emergency vs routine is the issue. You know that if they allowed porta potties that are portable, that they are not going home full. They are gonna be dumped in the lake or river before the boat gets back to the ramp.
I doubt that. We have bunches of porta potties down here. Most people are respectful and dispose of properly. It’s the damn sail boaters you need to worry about. :)
 
You guys are missing the point on the porta potties. He was giving the requirements for being able to consume alcohol on a boat while at anchor. The boat must have dedicated berths for sleeping, a permanent galley for cooking, and a fixed MSD. Porta Pots don't count as a fixed MSD.
Yeah but he went further and said they weren’t allowed period. That’s what I heard.
 
We boat in the Thousand Islands where the border is anything but a straight line…..for those planning to visit or anywhere else where you might find yourself in Canadian water of the Great Lakes, or perhaps the Trent or Rideau waterway….here is a heads up on what we have to deal with:
It gets interesting around the :55 second mark…..as long as vessel is underway, regardless of size, no one can drink or even have open liquor on the boat…

I posted the same video some where else here….. I think I referred to Canada as a communist government…… something like that :)

and before youre offended I was Canadian born and jumped to the us 26 years ago… legally….. I’m an immigrant :)
