...and a lot were drinking alcohol
That probably explains most of it.
Heebieville writ large. And on the border. The other border.
Does heebie have a google alert set for inner-tubing stories or something?
God what pussies. The Niagra River float is the only true hardcore Canadian-border-river float for the truly drunk and bold.
And not the lame version of a Niagra River float that I just googled and found actually exists, either. You gotta float the whole thing.
The nice thing about going over Niagra Falls without meaning to is that if you live, people on tour boats will talk about you for decades after.

The Google alert for "tubers" probably has a ton of false positives for stories about potatoes.
Did you leave here, acquire two children, and come back to learn how to code?
the legend comes down from a north border town
of the strange folk they call Michiganders
the river they say pushes them far away
when they go on their tube floating benders

You see you couldn't buy liquor in the States back then
So we saddled up the ponies and we loaded up the gin

A Canadian Coast Guard ship tows floatation devices used by U.S. partiers to the Canadian side of the St. Clair River between Michigan and Ontario on August 21, 2016.
Pity Canada, where such small craft serve for ships.

17: yes, "ship" is pushing it a bit on that. It's about the same size as the floaty thing it's towing.
That must have been one of the Canadian Coast Guard's more popular callouts. "Men, hundreds of bikini-clad American women have been swept into our territorial waters by adverse winds. They need rescuing immediately."
"Sir, I question the applicability in this situation of the word 'adverse'."
"And make sure to rescue the beer they've brought with them."
"Sir, is this a trap?"
And make sure to rescue the beer they've brought with them, eh?"
FTFY
The Canadian Coast Guard's about to have much bigger problems on its hands if anything goes wrong with the giant cruise ship currently attempting to go through the Northwest Passage.
"I think you're going to need a bigger channel."
The Canadian Coast Guard got a whole new coast! Good news for the coast guard!
When the United States sends its people, they're not sending the best. They're not sending you, they're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems. They're bringing inner tubes, they're bringing beer. They're rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to members of the coast guard and they're telling us what we're getting.
