Here's a sick bit of info from ALberta

[HEyHEY]

You get a larger fine here for running a stop sign than you do for spousal abuse.

THat's fucking sad.

1. It's also illegal to cross the lines in a car park.

Why? I have no idea.

[HEyHEY]

2. I heard it's illegal to smoke in front of Calgary resaurants

Is that true?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

3. Think so. The smokers seem to be huddled out of the way.

4. Don't feel too bad - often laws and punishments

are put in place because a problem exists and needs firm control. An optimistic viewpoint might be that spouse abuse isn't much of a problem in Alberta (or maybe it's addressed under other laws - assault in general?)

[HEyHEY]

5. I don't get why it's just a fine
