A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc
I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:
- Be civil and act in good faith.
- No trolling.

Can vary by province. Generally if you are driving you can be stopped, obliged to produce licence and registration, breathalyzed, or questioned at your home if you had been driving recently. Other than that case, you can't be stopped randomly for no reason and you have no obligation to answer questions.

In BC, this is the civil liberties association booklet so you can be aware of your rights.
