I'm gonna go with "Bank of Canada doesn't actually give a shit and just released a boiler plate statement about defacing currency."
So apparently in Canada it's actually illegal to deface currency. Like the act itself is a crime with a prison term. It's not like the US where it's only illegal if you do it for the purpose of fraud.

Which is a fucking stupid law if you ask me, as a Canadian.
