Canada, the second biggest country in the world has a lot of great things going for it. For starters, Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world combined. We also have the largest coastline in the world. Also, Canadians are known for being polite. Some might even say too polite. Why? Well, we are known for leaving our car doors unlocked as an escape measure for pedestrians to escape polar bear attacks. But don’t worry. That’s only in the North where polar bears are sighted. So yeah, as Canadians, we have a lot of great qualities and interesting facts to be proud of.

But, like all other countries, we have less than flattering things also. Meaning? We have some pretty weird laws. Yup. Canada has some of the weirdest laws in the world that will make you go “what?!?”. Curious as to what they are? Don’t worry! We’ve put a list together that includes some of the weirdest laws in Canada.
