Canadians Are Making Up Their Own National Laws And They're Hilariously Spot On
We have no idea who or what catapulted this incredible hashtag into the Twittersphere, but we are so here for it. Over the last few days, Twitter has blown up with #LittleKnownCanadianLaws - which are the furthest thing from real laws, and more like hilarious parodies about Canada's many quirks.
Hundreds of Canadians have joined in, tweeting about everything from our crazy weather, Canadian Tire dollars, hockey, beavers, poutine, and of course, our greatest musical accomplishment - Nickelback.
Here are some of the funniest and most accurate #LittleKnownCanadianLaws, which we believe should definitely be made real.
