Arresting Road Trip

I was inspired to start this Canadian road trip plan by the book You Can Get Arrested for That: 2 Guys, 25 Dumb Laws, 1 Absurd American Road Trip. The book tells the story of two guys from england coming to the states and breaking dumb forgotten laws in cities all across the U.S. Some of these laws include, fishing while wearing pajamas in Chicago and falling asleep in a cheese factory in New Jersey. Their trip got me thinking of setting up a similar road trip in Canada.

I started searching the internet and found that unlike the US, Canada didn't have that many dumb laws divided by cities, but I kept on searching:

Ontario:
Oshawa - It's illegal to climb trees.
Wawa - It's illegal to show affection in public on a Sunday
Ottawa - It's illegal to eat ice-cream on Bank street on a Sunday
Etobicoke - You cannot have more than 3.5 inches of water in your bathtub.

British-Columbia:
Victoria - Balloon animals are not permitted in public

Quebec:
Montreal - you cannot drive with a "for sale" sign in your car window
Quebec City - you may not swear in any other language than French "TABARNAC!"

That is all I could find so this road trip will be an Ontario-Quebec road trip. Victoria will have to wait, but in the mean time I can break a few laws that are general for Canada:
- Citizens may not remove bandages in public
- It's illegal to pretend to practice witch craft
- Comic books that depict any illegal act are banned
- It's illegal to send a letter or telegram threating a bird

How lovely is that, be prepared to see pictures and evidence of me breaking the law repeatedly.
Until the next adventure!
