how about the US services involved in border security treat all the French Canadian boaters the same next month?

isn't the seat of the Canadian Government in that province?

and another thought: wouldn't you think to enforce this there would need to be a clearly visible border on the water?
razor wire, laser beams, somebody paint a stripe?

I mean I just don't get how it can be enforced if it was in-country and not an international affair, it would get tossed for sure. you can't reasonably expect people to know where the border is, and respect it when it's not marked and on moving water!

No disrespect but you guys make it sound like the US boarder services is operating some kind of welcome wagon service into the US . The rules are not any different for me if I want to visit the New York State side of the lake coming out of Toronto.

Perhaps you should think about boating along our southern border. I hear the rules are not enforced as aggressively.

that's a good point considering there is no justification based on experience that I have ever heard of in 50 years right here for making this such an issue on the US/Can boating boarder in a location where the border weaves in and out of islands, or rather the islands and navigable waters weave in and out of the border.

Whereas I believe you could find plenty of justification on our southern border
