Still on the Books - Can you believe it?
You
can pay up to a $10 fine, or spend 30 days in jail if you display, sell
or even give away a chicken that is artificially coloured.
It is illegal to let a chicken cross the road in Dartmouth.
It is really amazing that this one is still in the Nova Scotia books:
There's a 1756 bounty of up to 25 pounds for Mi'kmaq scalp, payable "by
Officer commanding at any of His Majesty's Forts in this Province."
It is against the law to have a cracked or chipped bathtub in Dartmouth.
In Halifax, it is illegal to prepare a sandwich in a room that contains
a urinal, and it is also illegal to store it in such a room.
