From the people who brought you covid lockdowns, All people banned from wilderness (now with snitch line!)

[CdnFox]

Nova Scotia premier implements province-wide ban on hiking, camping, fishing

Yep. They basically said there's a risk of fire so nobody's allowed to leave the city and go into the woods. No fishing no hiking no nothing. You have to stay where you are until winter and it's safe again.

I can understand restrictions like fire bands and so on and so forth but you just tell people that they are denied access to the entire wild world seems so uncanadian it's not even funny

I wonder what we will be banned from next in the name of Public Safety?

As usual you don't know WTF you're talking about. Woods travel bans have been imposed many times in the past in many provinces. So have backwood skiing bans when there's avalanche conditions.

Fishing, hiking, Atv riding, etc... are not banned! Plenty of place to do those things without going into the woods.

Ever seen a forest fire near your home? I have! It's scary and a temporary restriction on woods travel is a sensible, effective way of avoiding them.

So sit in your basement and find some other "Assault on your rights" to be self-righteously indignant about. ID!OT!

As of today, August 6, all fireworks and pyrotechnic special effects are not permitted as long as a burn ban is in effect.

We're in extreme drought. But I know you rightwingnuts will whine about this too!

[Venandi]

With the caveat of "in my opinion" here's how I see it.

Privately owned land remains unaffected but it keeps the know it all Herbs, Flyers and Roboturds off the trails and out of the bush.

In their world fires are always caused by global warming, nothing to do with fuel loading, errant forestry practices (that we now have to live with) or their own careless buffoonery. I see it all the time, it's the same folks who dump their damn garbage and unwanted pets on my road and trespass to liberate (I call it steal) a "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree every winter. These critters won't walk an hour to burn one of your out buildings down but they'll cut your fence and ride in on ATVs to do it.

Ya pretty jaded eh? It's based on experience though.

This sort of ban has happened before during dry conditions and I breathe a sigh of relief on the odd occasion it kicks in.... last one was 2023 if memory serves.  

Certainly, there are sensible people who get caught up in this and that's unfortunate. And of course, the cov1diots will raise the spectre of Covid restrictions and say...  "ahhhh, changed your mind eh?"

Nope...  the lunacy of arresting a guy in a canoe in the middle of a lake for not wearing a mask is as far removed from this as any reasonable person can get. 

My one fear now is the publicity this has garnered, there's always some fool with a book of matches wanting to see his handiwork on TV. 

Just last night while driving home from a class (it was dark), I saw the tracer fire as someone two cars ahead tossed a lit cigarette out the window. As luck would have it there was no license plate... probably newly acquired with a temporary registration.

Not a total band like this. Restrictions maybe but nothing like this. Name one province that banned is people from going into any of the woods for any reason

Oops, it took you exactly one sentence to look like a complete tard  not a record for you but very competitive!

Sure, there's all kinds of aTV riding on the streets and people frequently fish inside the cities. 🙄 Are you trying to set some sort of record for stupid?

Oh yes, the usual one justified scare technique. Give us your freedoms or something really bad will happen honest!

Ever been to Nova Scotia, most of those outdoor sports are in the country which is in the woods, unless your in the middle of the lake somewhere....so ya technically they are not banned, but since most if not all the trails pass through wooded areas they've been severely restricted, to your backyard....

Here in the maritimes everything is either done on the water, or in the woods....Unfortunately it only takes a few wingnuts to not use common sense when enjoying the great outdoors...those guys should be shot with a ball of their own sh!t and put on a rock island for the remainder of their lives....

Conservative and name perhaps  

But unfortunately this kind of behavior is hardly unique to any one party.   Drink covid we saw conservative, left-leaning or liberal, NDP governments all behave the same.

You'll notice I didn't actually write from the liberal people who brought you covid or anything

But sure, liberals suck if that's your point

Let people decide if they want the vaccine or not without coercing them, advise people of the best practices and let them go outside as much as they want and only limit inside venues that are fairly enclosed.

A lot of countries never had a lockdown as I posted and they did as well or better

Getting the vaccine wasn't mandated to everyone. It was a choice that 80% of the population did.  Going outside wasn't restricted at all...indoor settings were.  It's peoples choice whether they want to get vaccinated or not, but if they potentially compromise others because of that choice then that's where the mandating of the vaccine and restrictions rightfully apply.

Of the G10 countries Canada managed the pandemic second best behind Japan so the government did their job....protecting its citizens.  

As far as the subject of lockdowns....  Houston is doing the right thing... siding with caution.

One day he'll stop being a User and sober up.
Meanwhile he'll dwell on five year old issues like PP and his lackeys do with Trudeau and the Mango Mussolini does about Obama.
In the meantime they can all stand up for their unCivil Rights and wander deep into the driest patch of forest to set off 4th of July fireworks.

" It was a choice that 80% of the population did."

Another lie. 80% did not have a "choice" as if they were a federal employee - mandated, travel - mandated, health and social workers - mandated, pubic employees across various provinces and municipalities - mandated, various public service workers - mandated, various educators - mandated...

But sure... it was a "choice"

You obviously didn't read the part - 'It's peoples choice whether they want to get vaccinated or not, but if they potentially compromise others because of that choice then that's where the mandating of the vaccine and restrictions rightfully apply'.

Go cry about the misdeeds to fools and conspiracies with someone else.
