Save some of us from this creepy place. Imagine what the Creepy Ones are doing to citizens when politicians declare it openly. Imagine living near the woods and you like to take your dog for a daily walk and they will fine you $25,000 for doing so.
This is state extortion on the level we'd see in the Soviet Union. If they aren't banning Jewish groups from Pride Parades they are fining people $5000 for walking to a donut shop during covid or $25,000 to enjoy nature.
THIS is Canada. I hope Americans are paying attention, some of you secret boot lickers worry me.
The Nova Scotia government has announced it's banning hiking, camping, fishing and use of vehicles such as ATVs in the woods due to an elevated wildfire risk.
Camping in campgrounds is still permitted, but trail systems through woods are off-limits under the new rules.
The rules are in place for provincial Crown land until Oct. 15 or until weather conditions allow them to be lifted.
The fine for violating the ban is $25,000.
The public can still access beaches and parks, except for trail systems.
As hot and dry conditions in the province persist, Premier Tim Houston said at a news conference Tuesday that these proactive measures are a "small price to pay" to avoid devastation like the province saw in 2023, when wildfires destroyed more than 200 homes.
"I'm losing sleep about what's happening," Houston said, pointing to the more than 700 active wildfires burning across Canada and stretched firefighting resources.
