Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston announced a province-wide ban on entering the woods until October 15th under the Forests Act, banning hiking, camping, fishing, and ATV use on both crown and private forested land, with fines up to $25,000. The ban aims to prevent wildfires but is overly broad, banning safe activities like walking even where no fires exist. Critics call it an excessive overreach violating rights and driven by “safetyism.” A petition urges repeal.
