Links that would help learn the rules and regulation that my govt in Canada keeps adding, changing, charging taxes for, etc etc. With the new taxes on canoes and kayaks the Canadian govt means business this year on the water. They are mandated to collect so much taxes so I want to be prepared and have all my licenses and boating exam and fishing licenses and proper vessel licenses. There are so many new taxes now I am simply confused. And there will always be one that is forgotten and hence the ticket. Looking for an online resource to help me learn what will be in the canadian boating examination. thanks Are you serious. Canoes and Kayaks. There are so many new taxes now I am simply confused. I haven't heard this.You see, I operate a real Boat, so I only know what I have to do related to Boat Operation.I never knew they Licensed, or taxed Canoes and Kayaks.You need to have the Boat registered to you, have an Operators Card, and have all Safety Gear on board, according to the size of your Boat. You will find the needed info in the Study Guide. It's not free, either. Looking for an online resource to help me learn what will be in the Canadian Boating Examination. Sorry, but you will never find out what is in the Exam. You have to read the Study Guide, and just do the exam.I've done it, but won't tell you whats there. Sounds to me like you want to " cheat " your way through.Too bad. My grand (12 years old) son passed the Canadian Pleasure Craft Operator Card last year. The sole purpose of this course is to teach you security on the water only. The design, intent and content of this course is not to teach you how to operate a watercraft. This course is given by privately own companies and their have to make a profit. If you want to learn about boating I suggest that you take the Power Squadron courses. In my opinion this course should be revised in its entirety. Well, until they can legislate common sense people will still drive speed boats into house boats literally. What I can't understand is why he hasn't been charged with manslaughter even though it happened last summer and 27 empty beer cans were found on his boat. I would not doubt he had the required pleasure craft certificate. I think linking drivers license infractions with boating enfractions, as a unified motor vehicle strategy is the beast I have heard of. So DWI in a boat means the same thing on your record and insurance as DWI in a car. Ditto speeding, careless use etc. -- Socialism is a great ideal as long as someone else pays for it. And when no one is left to pay for it, they all can share nothing. |
