A man has been rescued from an ice floe speeding down the Petitcodiac River this morning.
A rescue operation Thursday morning saw the man pass through the Petitcodiac Causeway gates, under the Gunningsville Bridge and past Chateau Moncton heading towards the Bay of Fundy on a fast current.
Reporters at the scene said he looked like he was freezing when he was pulled from the river, and was being treated by paramedics in an ambulance.
Earlier, firefighters tried to rescue the man by throwing ropes to him from the shore of the river, but they were unsuccessful.

Perhaps...but the left prefers polar bears to humans, so I doubt if the image would cause much of a response.

And, one thing that has never been considered when showing that photo is:

I have no idea how somebody could end up in this sort of situation, but thankfully somebody rescued this poor fool. It probably started with him saying "Hold my beer".

About 30 firefighters responded to the call and attempted an ice rescue, but officials says the man continuously refused their assistance.No name or facial picture of the rescued man. He wouldn’t be one of the illegals that headed up North to escape Trump’s America by any chance?

He appears to be lacking a paddle... Now, what was the name of the creek he was on?
