30+ Surprising Rules in Canada Tourists Should Know

It seems like almost every country in the world has at least one law that baffles foreigners to no end, and Canada is no exception! Did you just say I can't fill my bathtub with more than 3-and-a-half inches of water when taking a bath? Yep, that's Canada! Do you want to have more than 4 pet rats at a time? Then, unfortunately, Canada isn’t the country for you.
There are places in Canada where you can't attach sirens to your bike, build a snowman that’s taller than 30 inches, paint a wooden ladder, or leave home while "wearing" your pet snake on your neck or holding your pet lizard in your hands. If you want to take your snake (or any other reptile) for a walk, be so kind as to put it in a glass container. But wait, there's more to come.
