I AM ALWAYS LIABLE said:
But, the law may be wholly different in Canada.
Canadian law is actually very interesting in that it has few of it's own.
1. 48% of laws are directly from the US, i.e.,
"All vehicles must drive on the right side of the road"
"Can not kill a Politician on the 3rd Sunday of April"
"Illegal to ride an ugly horse” etc.. actually I think that last one should be “wife”.
2. 48% are from England, i.e.,
“The touching of guns are forbidden, if you point a gun at our police, we will hit you with a short stick”
“It is legal for a male to urinate in public, as long it is on the rear wheel of his motor vehicle and his right hand is on the vehicle”
“It is also legal for a women to urinate on the same wheel providing she has both hands on the vehicle at all times”
“You can only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city walls and after midnight” (This was changed in England in 1994 to state, “You can shoot a Welsh Person”.)
3. 2% Viking laws are in there somewhere, i.e.,
"Can't park your longboat in any government parking areas".
“All oars must be securely stored before pillaging a village”.
4. 1% are pure Canadian, i.e.,
"Hunters can not have sex with a Moose under 3 months or during labor",
"It is illegal to jump from a flying airplane without being equipped with a proper life saving apparatus" (Apparently no one has ever been successfully tried on that one!)
“There shall be a ‘day’ called ‘Canada’ to remind the people of the name of the country”
“ ‘Thanksgiving Day’ will be to give thanks for someone getting better. It will be in October. No, make it November. It will be on a Thursday, mmmm ok, Monday, no Thursday, ok ok, Monday. We shall call it ‘Armistice Day’… mmm hard to pronounce, make it ‘Remembrance Day’. We are sure everyone can remember that. Oh what the hell, lets have two holidays, ‘Remembrance Day’ and ‘Thanksgiving Day’. RD can be in November and TG in October. “
5. 1% are French, i.e.
“no pig may be addressed as Napoleon by its owner”
“In the face of the enermy, you must run away really quickly”
“Waterloo did not happen, OK?!!”
