    • Is that just a temporary thing to do with the wildfires?PhanLo
    • Can't see them tiktok. But feel like there's more nuance than the headlinepango
    • No nuance, just state up over the top fun

    • Yeah basically you walking or fishing in wilderness you bustedprophetone

    • btw this applies to private land, so you wander on your land to check fences etc there’s a hotline neighbours can call to report youprophetone
    • honestly with it - considering extreme dry conditions. As someone who experienced LA fires 1st hand. Also says if u own land you’re good, just can’t host othersBrokenHD
    • ya there's truth to what you said and a lot more to what you didn't say.pango
    • ^ that was replying to prophetone.pango
    • The information about a $25,000 fine for walking through the wilderness in Nova Scotia is not accurate. While Nova Scotia has implemented restrictions on accessneverscared
    • some wilderness areas due to high fire risk, the specific penalty mentioned is incorrect. The actual restrictions are related to fire safety during periods ofneverscared
    • of high fire risk. These restrictions may include: Campfires and open fires.Access to some wilderness areasneverscared
    • “Related to fire safety” yes, but that’s beside the point for many, someone going for a hike now cannot, freedom pulled, there are fines, there’s a hotlineprophetone
    • Easy to get in weeds but stand back and look at it, it’s temp but is it? People will comply, then it’s accepted, repeated every year possiblyprophetone
    • Why? Because bad apples, classic case and 99% suffer because of it, this is unprecedented despite the reasoning, a land owner is fine but no friends allowed etcprophetone
    • Fine the bejeezus out of smokers and fire people, but the other 99% should have freedom of movement, most people aren’t a fire-threat in slightestprophetone
    • It’s a slippery slope, what’s next, every province follows suit b/c same reasoning applies indefinitely? One day 80% of outdoors Canada becomes off limits?prophetone
    • I hope not, but there’s a chance they ease off this plan as many groups are speaking out against the overreachprophetone
    • People like myself must be overreacting I guess, there's now way... oh wait a sec... New Brunswick has joined the party almost immediatelyprophetone

    • I’m not the CBC hence linksprophetone
    • and you're not the link you posted. should have just posted the link....pango
    • Pango this is beloved QBN it’s fun nonsense with a dash of real world, this situation is actually real, the reactions are fun nonsenseprophetone
    • And I did post the official Nova Scotia press release link at top as you know so I feel I performed my QBN journalistic dutiesprophetone
    • BTW it’s sensationalism and ‘ain’t no ways’ until you get a $29k ticket for walking in woodsprophetone
