What's more Canadian than drunk canoeing?

Edit: oops, still learning Lemmy. I guess you can't add a picture and have a link to the article?

I need more than a picture. I'm going to support him unless he became disruptive toward others.

What's the story? They didn't just arrest him for buzzing while he practiced his L and J strokes.

Sounds like he was being belligerent and not following instructions, so that's a bit of a problem.

The fact that they gave him a breathlyzer test makes me laugh though.

"The man eventually made his way to a dock and hid under there for several minutes again refusing to comply. After several minutes, a police officer was forced to go into the water and bring him out."

I feel like, at the point they gave the breathalyzer, they were either in complete disbelief or "oh, fuck you in particular" mode.

There should actually be a law against canoeing sober.

Hell in a handbasket!
