Every country and culture has laws and codes of conduct that are understood by their citizens, especially the laws that can be regularly broken or bended without major consequences. Here in Canada, most of us have likely jay walked, parked illegally, not accurately declared all the goodies stowed away in our luggage, and perhaps been creative with our tax declarations. We have a collective confidence that despite our actions technically being illegal, we won’t likely be audited, busted or ticketed for these minor offenses, so we take the calculated risk.
