You ever heard this one?
“Ignorance of the law is no excuse.”
A real knee-slapper, that one.
Let’s run the numbers.
If you wanted to read every single federal law, regulation, act, and statute Canada has on the books — just to make sure you’re not accidentally illegal…
You’d need 115 years.
That’s 1 hour a day, Monday to Friday, with no holidays, no blink breaks, no accidental death by bureaucratic boredom.
Oh — and that doesn’t count:
— Provincial laws
— Territorial codes
— Firearms regulations
— The Criminal Code
— Case law
— By-laws about your rooster’s bedtime
(There are over 35,000 federal Acts, regulations and statutes. That’s roughly 1,500 Acts × 15,000 words/Act = 22.5 million words, plus 3,000 Regulations at ~30,000 words each = 90 million, and another ~30,000 session laws. At one hour/day, five days/week, you’re staring down 115 years just to read them.)...
So unless you’re a 19-year-old legal prodigy with a flawless memory, zero hobbies, and access to Benjamin Button technology...
You’re probably already a criminal.
But don’t worry.
Even though it would take two lifetimes to understand what’s “legal”…
You’re still expected to follow every single one.
Blindly. Perfectly. Forever.
Or else.
“Sorry, officer — I didn’t realize trading zucchini for goat cheese triggered a CRA investigation.”
“Ignorance is no excuse.”
But ignorance is apparently the default.
Let’s call this what it is:
A system of traps.
One where the rules are buried in Latin. Updated without notice. Contradict themselves weekly. And require a team of lawyers just to decode your chicken coop permit.
It’s not about law.
It’s about leverage.
The more rules you don’t know — the easier it is to pin you to one.
And that’s the glitch.
When the law becomes unknowable…
… compliance takes 115 years.
… breaking it takes one rooster at 6 a.m.
… and oops — you’re a criminal.
If the rules can’t be known…
Then knowing that might be your first real freedom.
Stay dangerous.
Hug your rooster.

P.S.
Reading the law shouldn’t require immortality and Adderall.
