assuming you are only referring to canoe country and not grizzzly country -

off the top of my head, 3 fishermen killed by a single predatory black bear in Algonquin Prov park - 10 or 15 years ago - they were spread out along a stream fishing, and the bear stalked each one in turn and killed them

about 3 years ago - Missinaibi Lake (Ontario) - a woman was killed at camp, her husband got chewed up some while he was trying to rescue her

about 3 years ago - on a portage, a bear attacked a solo paddler and/or his dog - guy killed the bear with his knife

no cats -( they just follow me around (in CO) - on average in CO there are maybe half a dozen bears chewing on people issues - in 2000, a drought year, it was more like a dozen cases - search QJ and you'll find several cat threads, and many times several bear threads)

but doggies

wolves killed a surveyor trainee (I think he was) in the winter at a logging camp in Sask? or Manitoba ?  tracks in snow clearly showed that the guy was stalked and run down by the wolf pack - um, 2? years ago

2 or 3 years ago - wolf attacked a child on a beach BC I think, near Vancouver - mom saved the kid, but got bit some


there may be others, those are the ones that come to mind
