Some weird laws that still exist

This is from a Toronto Sun website article. Some are not that weird but others you have got to ask what were they thinking or do we still need that law.



10 weirdest laws in Canada | Canada | News | Toronto Sun

• If you live in St. John's, N.L you better not get caught with cows in your house. It's also against the law there to drive cattle through the streets of St. John’s after 8 a.m.


• According to the Canadian Currency Act of 1985, there is a cap on the number of coins you can use in a single transaction. If you’re paying with nickels, vendors can deny any purchase over $5, while the loonie limit is $25.


• An old Toronto bylaw made it illegal to drag a dead horse down Yonge Street on Sundays. So does that mean Mondays to Saturdays are a free-for-all?


• While every province has its own occupational and safety laws, Alberta’s is a little more specific when it comes to ladders. Under Alberta’s Occupational and Safety Code, “a person must not paint a wooden ladder” as paint and other coatings can prevent a person from seeing the condition of a wooden ladder.


• While Quebec sign laws generate plenty of debate across Canada, in Montreal, 'for sale' signs are not permitted in the windows of moving vehicles.
