On August 5, Nova Scotia, Canada banned people from hiking, camping, fishing and the use of vehicles like ATVs in the woods due to the elevated wildfire risk. 
Susan Holt, the Premiere of New Brunswick, admitted that people are not banned from the woods due to the possibility that they could cause a fire, but that they could break a leg and there would be no emergency responders to help them. She actually called for rain dances to stop the fires.

Newfoundland and Labrador says it will fine violators of the burn ban up to $150,000, as well as up to a year in prison.

Canada has been criticized for failing to clear dry brush due to bad policies based on environmentalism that emphasizes "climate change". Earth.com wrote that a recent study "highlights the urgent need to address fuel aridity through sustainable forest management and climate mitigation efforts." Aerial water bombers could help extinguish wildfires, but Canada has refused to purchase them. Critics warn that the burn ban is similar to the harmful COVID lockdowns that lasted 3 years.

Man walks into Nova Scotia forest, walks out with $28K fine: 'I want to challenge this order in court'

A Nova Scotia man who intentionally violated the province's ban on entering the woods says he plans to fight his $28,000 fine.

Jeffrey Evely, a veteran and former candidate for the People's Party of Canada, recorded a video over the weekend of him first going to the Department of Natural Resources in Coxheath, N.S., and informing officers he was going into the woods to protest the ban.

"I want to challenge this order in court, and the only way to do that is to get the fine," Jeffrey Evely says in the video. "So, I'm not trying to make trouble for you guys, I just want a piece of (Premier) Tim Houston and I want to be as accommodating and nice as I can be."

One of the officers asked him not to enter the woods, but he followed through with his plan.

When he left the forest, he was handed a fine of $28,872.50, according to an image of the document.

The new policy came into effect on Aug. 5, and will remain until Oct. 15. It bans people from hiking, camping, fishing and the use of vehicles like ATVs in the woods due to the elevated wildfire risk. People are not even allowed to enter the woods. The fine for violating the ban is $25,000.
