Weird Canadian Laws: Strange, Bizarre, Wacky & Absurd

If you can imagine it, somewhere there’s probably a law against it. Laugh out loud over some of Canada’s strangest laws — but not too loudly, or you might get a ticket:

• Until 2002 in BC, you couldn’t stand up while having a drink in a restaurant

• In Halifax, cabbies are required to wear socks

• You’re not allowed to dogsled on the sidewalks in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario

• In Ponoka, Alberta, don’t build a mud hut or a house with a straw roof

• Don’t let your Canadian flag snap in the wind in Collingwood, Ontario

• Coloured margarine is illegal in Quebec

• Don’t leave a trail of nails, tacks or glass behind you when you walk down the streets of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan

• Clear sodas are not allowed to contain caffeine in Canada.

• Plus more outdated, outmoded or just plain outlandish laws from throughout Canada.
