Is it legal to draw on a canadian dollar bill?
Is there a canadian law like the u.s. "Mutilation of national bank obligations"
United States Code
TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I - CRIMES
CHAPTER 17 - COINS AND CURRENCY
§ 333. Mutilation of national bank obligations
“Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, or Federal Reserve bank, or the Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.”

If you think that statute makes it "illegal to draw on" US currency, you are not a very careful reader. Try reading it again.
Nobody is ever charged with that even in the US. In Canada, it is only illegal to deface currency in order to commit fraud in some way. Look in your wallet, there is a decent chance that you will find writing on some of them (although why people do that I’ve never understood).
OK if you can draw LIncoln ok.lol.
