Book Synopsis You Can't Do That in Canada by : Bev Spencer
Download or read book You Can't Do That in Canada written by Bev Spencer and published by Scholastic Canada. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis Atlantic Canada's Unusual Place Names by : David Scott
Download or read book Atlantic Canada's Unusual Place Names written by David Scott and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of unusual place names from the four Atlantic provinces! The origins of each of these 477 strange names are explained and any notable or quirky history is described in detail. Of course, many of these names become “unusual” only when they are at a distance from the place of their origin. Joe Batt’s Arm, for example, may seem unusual to a Manitoban (not to Newfoundlanders!). Pokemouche could sound odd to an Ontarian (but familiar to New Brunswickers!). This book also includes little-known facts, trivia, and occurrences from the Atlantic provinces, and also 18 mini-biographies of famous, infamous, and not-so-famous-but-still-interesting Atlantic Canadians.
Book Synopsis Rock and Hard Places by : Andrew Mueller
Download or read book Rock and Hard Places written by Andrew Mueller and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2010-02-10 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Mueller is Australian by birth, a Londoner by choice, a wanderer by nature, and a journalist by profession. Unable to decide between being a rock critic, travel writer, or foreign correspondent, he hit upon the novel, if time-consuming, solution of trying to be all three at once. In Rock and Hard Places, published originally in the U.K. in 1999, now re-envisioned and updated and available for the first time in the United States, he travels to Lebanon with the Prodigy, comes to America with Radiohead, and goes all over the place with U2. He ventures to Bosnia Herzegovina with an aid convoy in the middle of the war, sees Def Leppard play in a cave in Morocco, and attempts to ask the Taliban not only what they think they’re up to, but who they fancy for the World Cup. He flings himself head first down the Cresta Run, sits in Stalin’s armchair, chases ambulances through Moscow, chases some kind of lost tribe in India, wakes up at least once in a park in Reykjavik, and strongly advises avoiding the seafood salad in Sapporo Airport. He’s funny. Occasionally he makes a point.
