Canadian Handrails

My advice—use them.

At least use them on subway escalators in Canada. The alternative is a fine of $100 (we presume $100 Canadian), and, if you are not immediately responsive, an additional fine for obstruction.

The Globe and Mail of Toronto, Ontario, carries this story about 38 year old Bela Kosoian, who was cuffed, dragged into a small holding cell and given a couple of tickets for not holding the escalator handrail in the Montreal Metro and for not responding to police direction.

The spin by the police of the town of Laval, Quebec, can be found here.
