The lady threatening a Charter Challenge because she can't walk her dog through the bush is welcome to come to my place.
The bush is full of mosquitoes, bears and ticks and the dog gets all stinky from the wet leaves and grass, so the poor, poor, abused little puppy is forced to go walkies on the sidewalk and manicured lawns of the park.

You're welcome top join us any evening you wish,

Wow, too bad you don't invite all these illegal immigrants you pretend to love to come up there too.

No they didn't. It wasn't anywhere near this restrictive. Same with this year's, it's not nearly as restrictive at all, you can get permits to go into the woods, it doesn't ban activities like hiking, and the big difference is it's in response to a real fire. This isn't walking people out because they're afraid fires may start, there's an active fire and it's consuming all available resources. There's a little bit more of an understanding there rather than we just don't want to let you into the woods cuz you might break something something

But it's hardly surprising that one of our resident communists would come out fully in support of authoritarian government overreach

Nope. You’re wrong. It was the same. Go back to your kiddie pics.

In my neck of the woods in NL, I’d say most people would accept almost any measure that might reduce the risk of our town going up in smoke. The forests are like a tinderbox out there and we’ve had several wildfires in our region already.

Most people have common sense and will try to do the right thing in a bad situation.  On the other hand there are always going to be fools who can't accept common sense and feel compelled to complain because of their so-called loss of rights....until it's one of their homes or land that burns down.

[Moonlight Graham]

The problem is a lot of people are ignorant a-holes.   All the time people just randomly park on the side of the road on my street where nobody can see them and throw their Tims cups or McDonald's garbage on the side of the road and leave  You tell people not to throw their cigarette butts on the ground and a bunch will do it when in the woods and not many people are around them.

Banning people from the woods in extreme circumstances like a drought with a lot of uncontrolled forest fires is better than having more forest fires and not being able to breathe and most people having to stay inside all day because the the sky is hazy-orange with smoke particles.

I'm quite correct  

Awww did you do a web search and realize i was right and then scuttle back here with your tail between your legs and simply throw that out to distract? LOLOL

Poor chrissy. It never takes you more than a post or so to wind up looking like trailer trash does it

Clear-cut the whole forest?

Then it won't burn down...

More controlled burns might be a good idea. Politically fraught, of course.

So the NB Premier was on television yesterday, and admitted that the hiking ban had nothing to do with fires.  It’s that if somebody gets hurt in the woods hiking, emergency services won’t be available to look for them.  That’s why people aren’t allowed to walk in the woods.  What ridiculous nonsense, I hope the province gets sued.

Your tag say's you're in Ontario.  Were you planning a hike in the NB woods that is now cancelled, or just a champion for rights of freedom?  The ridiculous thing is that some people have zero common sense.

[CDN1]

Sorry, where was this precaution when you flooded the country with radical third world demographic change and complete reckless disregard for the safety of our citizens & future stability of the country?

That's a far bigger existential threat than a hike through the wooda or even covid for that matter.

Don't gaslight us on actually caring about the public safety when you invite an invasion and go soft on crime.

Any folks here ever fought a forest fire(s)? Fought fire in mountainous country? Anyone here familiar with how fast they can move, how they create their own wind, how they 'crown' or just how quickly they can hook behind you?  Or that on a full forest/land closure where you disregard the closure, you can be on the hook for the cost of firefighting and damage incured whether you started it or not?  Think.

No.  I just call out authoritarianism when it's being clearly displayed.

Uhhhh, I have thought...  do you not understand what I've said throughout this thread?  The government is doing the right thing by restricting access to the forests.  I have little to no sympathy for those complains about their so-called rights.

Call it authoritarianism or call it being the caretakers of your provincial assets and people.  Personally I'm more concerned about land assets and peoples homes and livliehoods than I am about politics.

I haven't read it myself but you said it has to do with emergency services not being available if needed. Considering and protecting the welfare of citizens is authoritarianism?

Well it looks like it is getting sued so we'll see how that goes

Yes. In fact it's usually the very excuse given by all authoritarians. People can't be trusted to care for themselves therefore the state must make their decisions and care for them instead. For their own safety they must give up their rights and surrender those rights to the state who is much better equipped to protect them. the first thing any dictator or authoritarian group does is declare an emergency and then claim they're the ones who can fix it
