The article is not clear why the RCMP were in contact with them...

Boat one....They entered Canada and claimed they were on their way to Alaska. They weren't.

Boat two..was a whale watching vessel. Suffered the same fate.

I agree, impound the boat or RV (whichever the case) for 30 days. Then the guilty party has to make arrangements to have it returned to them after 30 days plus impound charges.

Take the boat.

Good for Canada. If a thousand doesn’t stop Americans from violating Canadian law, raise the penalty.

Stupid is as stupid does.

They not only ignored the rules, they lied about their intent.

Frankly, under the circumstances, $1000 is not near a heavy enough fine.
