Canada is now gutting boaters for $150 for a "license" to have a VHF
radio on board. Nuther asshole move if you ask me. Yes, this includes
us visiting boaters, so figure another $150 for your big Canadian
adventure. That's all the news from the front. Keep trudging.

huh? This is news to me, and I live here. Sure you aren't thinking
about something else. OTOH, if it is the case and you are getting
dinged $150 when you come up here, and you don't like the rules...stay
home. No harm-no foul. I mean, I don't like your rules, you
know...fingerprinting, photos etc...so I'm not spending my disposable
income in the States anymore. No hard feelings :-)
