Juno News - Are Canadians’ freedoms increasingly under attack？

00:00:00.000 a lot of people were kind of taken aback by the change in nova scotia of all of a sudden it's

00:00:05.360 nobody's allowed in the forest we think and it's a 25 000 ban yeah it's a 25 000 fine or 25 000

00:00:15.760 fine although with uh taxes and victims fees there's individuals who have received this fine

00:00:22.160 uh i think it amounts to closer to 28 000 so yeah we think that this

00:00:27.200 is disproportionate it is going too far it is banning activities that don't pose risk because

00:00:34.560 the government is kind of playing on this fear and control narrative uh it is a lockdown

00:00:41.760 of the forest and we're really opposed to this kind of thing uh of course ban fires ban campfires

00:00:50.240 ban i i appreciate your comment about atvs because those do start fires but the number

00:00:56.160 one cause of wildfires in nova scotia it's actually different from uh british columbia

00:01:02.000 the number one cause is arson and the most recent fire in nova scotia which i understand is under

00:01:09.840 control was caused by human activity that is the main cause of most fires is arson so punish

00:01:18.160 arsonists i mean lay down the law put people who who intentionally start fires that risk human

00:01:25.520 lives and which destroy property put those people in jail and give them big penalties

00:01:30.960 but don't punish someone because they took their dog for a walk in the woods that's bizarre

00:01:36.320 And it's completely irrational.
