I am 20 yrs old and am going to be leaving to go to Canada in about 2 weeks and am curious about the different laws or things that are different in general from here in the U.S. I will be driving into Canada and staying in Toronto. thanks
If you have a drink don`t drive.Impaired driving(DUI) is a criminal offence in Canada and you can get jail time for a first offence.The legal limit is set fairly low and it does not take much to blow over.

As a visitor, you're not going to find a whole lot different in terms of laws or even culture.
In Toronto, they speak English, although you may see French on official signs.
The money is different, but works the same way as it does in the US.

Toronto isn't really that different from any US city.
The most noticeable differences will be the speed limits will be in metric. So the sign that says "Maximum 100" means you'll be able to 100 km/hr which is about 62 mph. Also the temperatures will be given in celsius.
Oh and you'll be able to legally drink at 20, since the minimum age in Ontario is 19.

There are little things that are different but not much.......we say "bathroom" or washroom and you guys say restroom.
As for laws, legal age in Canada is 18 - thats for cigarette smoking, drinking and clubbing. We can't smoke inside restaurants or clubs anymore.
I cant think of anything else but its really pretty much the same.

Beaver hunting is strictly prohibited, and publishable by life in prison
You must know how to speak french in all parts of Canada.
Lying is against the law.
If you bump into someone (or they bump into you) it is law to say your sorry
We are not allowed littering
We are not allowed killing people
Kraft Dinner is a staple food and if you are offered it please eat it completely (this is more polite than law)
If you see a moose, it is law to bow to it.
Do not light fires within 10 feet of an igloo
Do not pee on an igloo.
Other laws do apply but these are the most basic and important.
