{"product_id":"you-can-t-do-that-in-canada-bev-spencer","title":"You Can't Do That in Canada","description":"Think Canadians are the logical, rational bunch? The kind who don't overreact? Well, open this book and find out just how weird and wacky some of our laws have been -- and remember, it's kooky enough that the laws were created, but stranger still to think that certain behaviour actually led to their creation! Here are just a few: An old BC law supposedly made it illegal to kill a sasquatch. You can be imprisoned for challenging someone to a duel, or even accepting the challenge. You can get two years in prison for pretending to practise witchcraft (there was a case as recently as 1984!). There is a two-year penalty for offending a public place with a bad smell. In Fredericton, NB, it is against the law to wear a snake. Canada has its share of \"Rip Van Winkle\" statutes that are still on the books. You Can't Do That in Canada! highlights the wackiest, with thirty-five accompanying cartoons. A section at the end includes a quiz about really strange laws, and kids guess which three are the fakes. The rest, bizarre as they seem, are -- or were -- really on the books.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bev Spencer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scholastic Canada\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2010\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scholastic Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45681253318847,"sku":"9781443102520","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1060\/1663\/files\/view_archive_afed1f80-4757-4457-a0fa-54abe0be3fa9.jpg?v=1780463743","url":"https:\/\/www.blendedbooknook.com\/products\/you-can-t-do-that-in-canada-bev-spencer","provider":"Blended Book Nook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
