Is it illegal to drink in public anywhere in Canada under any circumstances? In the US that is not the case, but in many public places it is against the rules to drink, and in a number of cases those rules are legal rules. (I'm not sure I should use "public", as it has too many wildly different meanings. A "public corporation", and most "public accommodations", really are privately owned.) that is close to communism-levels of nannyism. Not really. Nannyism? Sure. (If it is by law, and esp. if its any public place in the country or even just a province). But its quite a ways away from full blown communism, even if you drop some of the main points of (government ownership of the means of production) communism from consideration.
