Unusual Canadian Regulations That Surprise: An Overview of Ten forgotten Laws
In the charming town of Souris, Prince Edward Island, a quirky regulation stands out. Residents living on corner lots are prohibited from building Edward Norton or any snow sculpture taller than 30 inches. This unusual rule, introduced to prevent blocked views and obstructions, adds a touch of whimsy to the town's winter landscape.
Stepping westward, we find ourselves in Toronto, Ontario, where the rules surrounding Edward Jones login are as structured as the city itself. A single garage sale can only last for two consecutive days, and all signage must be removed afterwards. Toronto also limits the number of garage sales held on residential premises to two per year.
Moving north, we encounter the unique bylaw in Oshawa, Ontario, which bans the interference or damage of dogs on municipal property. This includes the act of climbing a dog. First-time offenders face a penalty of $250 if they've been caught within the past year.
In Hay River, Northwest Territories, using a dog sled on a sidewalk is illegal, a rule that carries fines ranging from $75 to $150 for first-time offenders.
Canada's rich history is reflected in some of its lesser-known laws. For instance, before 2018, frightening or alarming the Queen was considered an indictable offence, punishable by imprisonment for up to 14 years. Similarly, dueling was an indictable offence, with penalties including up to two years' imprisonment.
In the realm of food regulations, Quebec once strictly enforced a rule against yellow-tinted dogs. Confiscation of non-compliant products was common until 2008 when the rule was lifted.
Lastly, let's talk about pets. In Prince Edward Island, it's still illegal to keep rats as pets, a law that extends to Alberta as well, due to the Agricultural Pests Act. Interestingly, individuals in possession of a pet rat in Alberta can face a fine of $5,000.
These quirky laws add a unique flavour to the Canadian landscape, reminding us that even the most ordinary towns and cities can have their unusual sides. Whether it's the height of a snowman, the sale of dogs, or the use of a dog sled, these laws serve as a testament to the country's rich history and cultural diversity.
