Laws and ordinances you really must wonder about. Wonder why any lawmaker would even waste the ink to write this much less the tax dollars to get it pushed through.

  • In Alberta it seems that It is illegal for a man to drink with a woman in an Edmonton beer parlor.
  • Throwing snowballs in Calgary, where there is lots of snow is against the law. I wonder if anyone ever tried to enforce this law.
  • Bicycle riders are caught in a catch 22, see by law both hands must be on the handlebars at ALL times, but, you must signal with your arm to turn… hmmm…. Edmonton
  • In Canada, Kids tie them laces in double knots because it is illegal for a teen to walk down main street with their shoes untied.
  • In Saskatoon, It is illegal to try and catch fish with your hands
  • In Toronto There will be no sawing of wood on the street
  • It Toronto, it is against the law to wash your car in the street
  • Windsor, no playing of a musical instrument in a park
  • and in Winnipeg, No hitting the ground with metal objects
  • In Winnipeg, make sure your blinds are down if dressing because you may be in some trouble if you forgot.
