This week, according to the Google, we bring you strange Canadian by-laws, still on the books in Canada.

- No "Uphill" Rolling: In Saskatchewan, it is illegal to hold onto a moving vehicle while you are outside of it (basically, no Skitchin' like in Back to the Future).
- No Dead Horses: In Toronto, it is still technically illegal to drag a dead horse down Yonge Street on a Sunday. (Good advice for any day of the week, really).
