The measure was announced by Nova Scotia premier Tim Houston on the basis that dry weather had made forest fires more likely and more dangerous in the province.

Under the measure, violators could be fined an exorbitant amount of money, with fines reaching as high as $25,000 Canadian, or more than $18,000 US dollars.

"We are restricting travel and activities that really aren't necessary for most of us, hiking, camping, fishing and the use of vehicles in the woods are not permitted," Houston said.

This is not the first time that Canadians have been barred from visiting the woods. Nova Scotia, which is heavily forested, most recently banned visits to the woods in 2023.

While this measure will destroy human liberty, it likely won't stop the worst forest fires. 

According to one scientist, a large number of forest fires, and often the worst ones, are started by one natural source: Lightning.

"In many regions, lightning is becoming the No. 1 source of new fires, Mike Flannigan, a wildfire scientist at Thomson Rivers University in British Columbia, told CBC News.

According to CBC News, "Lightning-caused fires result in a far larger area burned -- typically around 90 percent of the total in a given season."

At least one brave Canadian took it upon himself to oppose the tyrannical measure emanating from the Nova Scotia Premier. 

Jeff Evely is a Canadian military veteran who served in Afghanistan and he wasn't about to stand by and watch as the government of Nova Scotia went full commie.

Instead, he told "authorities" that he was going to go for a walk. And then he did.

"I fought it last time they did that and I am fighting it this time,” he the Toronto Sun. “It’s just a walk in the woods.”

It was an expensive walk. After he told provincial officials what he was going to do, he then walked into the woods across from the building where the officials worked. Naturally, they gave him a fine, totalling $28,872.50.

"Seems there are taxes and fees and victim surcharges," he told the Sun.

Leftist controlled western governments are convinced by the dogma that people are always the problem and that controlling human behavior is always the solution. They did this during Covid, forcing lockdowns and destroying the careers of those who opposed tyranny by refusing the vax. They are following the same script in Nova Scotia now, ostensibly to control fires.

As with the tyrannical covid response, locking people down to keep them out of the woods is also a false solution -- even though it is Nirvana for government bureaucrats looking to expand their power. 

The only real way to limit the danger of forest fires is to remove dead wood from the forest. Removing people from the forest, by contrast, is ineffective but it is dehumanizing and obnoxious.

This, at least, is the opinion of Constitutional lawyer Marty Moore. “This law views people as the problem – not dangerous activities," he said according to the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms, a Canadian organization. "This law is anti-human...."
