Despite the inconvenience of a boat taking over an entire lane of the highway, Toronto decided to make humour of the situation.
This gives a whole new meaning to dry docking!! 😲 🛥

Fortunately, the boat was not left on the 401. If it was, people might have been enraged instead of poking fun.
Since the 407 is a tolled highway, someone suggested the boat was left in debt to pay for the owner's bill.
“Used 407 three times. Had to pay bill with boat.”

Others joked that all of the water surrounding the boat must have dried up because of global warming.
Global warming at its finest.

The police have not provided any additional information on the circumstances surrounding how this boat was deposited on the highway in the first place.
