Stupid Canadian laws by region

Really unbelievable law from Fort Qu'Appelle, Quebec. For teens it's illegal to walk downtown main street with his/her shoes untied... Also it is illegal to turn right on a red light at any time. It's absolutely stupid law!

Quebec law states that all business signs must be in French. You can use English prints, but they must be twice smaller than French. And no language other than French is permitted to be shown out doors.

In Ottawa It is illegal to eat ice cream on Bank Street on Sundays.

Really stupid law from London, Ontario. It's against the city by-law to grow grass in front yard any taller then a inch and a half.

City workers carefully examine all front yards every week to find the taller grass. They will cut taller grass for you and then will send you $200 fine. Just Crazy!

In Nova Scotia you are not allowed to water your lawn during rain.

Average speed limit through out Ontario is 80 km per hour for all cars, but bicyclists allowed to ride faster.

In British Columbia old law states that the jailer must bring a bottle of beer on demand if you are a bankrupt drunk who got thrown into jail. Weird! Also It is illegal to kill a sasquatch. Believe it or not, but it's true!

Another old law from Alberta. It was the law when a prisoner was released from jail that he would be given a gun and horse to ride out of city.

In Alberta it is illegal to set fire to the wooden leg of a wooden legged man. And you may never use dice to play craps.
