Confusion about canoe and kayak registration


Jonny

Recommended Posts

Did you miss the part where it's only for guided trips?

 

 

Nope. That's why the title "Confusion". Seems that some people are, according to the article.

 

Don't be surprised if it's applied to more in the future.

I wonder if I'll have to register my pontoon boat?!?!? lol

 

Judging by ever-expanding bureaucracy and taxation (fees), you'll have to register an air mattress that you float around on. (And they'll be able to fine you if you're found floating around without carrying an instant patch kit.)

The governments are all saying that Canadians are getting too fat, then come up with the idea to make them pay $50 to register the canoe's and kayaks. What a bunch of idiots.Obviously, some senior bureaucrat in Transport Canada is missing the point and needs to have a good A$$ kicking.

Read the TC regs before going off half co cked guys. Guide/leader boat only of paid/commercial operations. None of the boats following it need to be registered nor does yours. Been there since 2007 and similar to charter boat tracking/registering. Another way of tracking legitament businesses.... :wallbash:

Exactly! Worded perfectly.

It may be something that's been around for a bit, but it looks like most people don't know about it.

 

It's just the idea of it being done at all --- the thin edge of the wedge. Have you ever heard of a regulation being scrapped? :D

Leading one to ask... WHY?

 

Legitimate businesses can be tracked by business registration and income tax.

 

This would be a much better country if we had a law that says... for every new regulation that's made, two others have to be taken off the books.

Good to know that if you send your kids to camp the one inspected boat is the one the guide is in.

If all the others sink he can rescue the kids.

 

I get the sarcasm, but the boats are never inspected. I've bought and sold quite a number of registered boats and nobody has ever inspected one. They just want the money.
