Did You Know?

I've been wondering how many old laws are still on the books in Canada, but are no longer enforced. Here's a few of the more absurd sort:

• "You may not park a car in such a way that it is blocking your own driveway."

• "When raining, a person may not water his/her lawn."

• "If you are released from prison, it is required that you are given a handgun with bullets and a horse, so you can ride out of town."

• "It’s illegal to climb trees on city property in Oshawa, Ontario"

• "The Queen Elizabeth Hotel must feed your horse freely when you rent a room." 
  
  

  They get pretty weird.

  
  

  More here, here and here.

  
  

  Some of the best:
  
  
•  "Horses are not allowed to stand on Edmonton streets for longer than 20 minutes"
• "In Fort Qu' Appelle, Saskatchewan all teenagers walking down the main street must have their shoes tied."
