So.
Our wishy washy, prospective fifty-first state to the north is acting whack again, and proving to be a guiding light right here on this continent for how destructive and authoritarian progressive ideology and woke doctrines can be.
For one thing, if you'll remember, the ruling junta in Ottawa is awfully fond of laying a hammer down on its citizens. Nothing has really changed except they've swapped the sickening sweet, perpetually bemused visage of Fidelito Trudeau for the older, man-of-the-World-Economic-Forum face of high financier turned politician Mark Carney.
Everything else, including the worst, dystopian aspects of the Canadian Liberal Party, remains alive and well.
For example, things are kind of dry in some of the provinces at the moment, which would normally equate to commonsense measures like a fireban.
Which they already have in place.
But being part of the Canadian government means taking it a bit further just because you can. So they have banned hiking itself.
Now, I can see banning the vehicles in the woods, off-road set-ups, and otherwise. There are plenty of instances of catalytic converters and hot exhaust pipes starting brushfires in grass and weeds. In fact, Orange County, CA, is paying dearly for having its heavy equipment running, moving boulders in a superdry canyon in triple-digit heat last year, thanks to the exhaust lighting off what came to be known as The Airport Fire.
But walking in the woods verboten?
One person suggested it's because a magnifying glass used to inspect mushroom spores found along a trail might inadvertently start a fire, and others that cleats on shoes could cause a spark against a rock.
OKAY
Whatever the possible, illogical reason, no one will walk in the woods without paying a $25,000 fine if they're caught from the 5th of August forward.
BECAUSE AND CALL THE SNITCH LINE IF YOU SEE SOMEONE
Nova Scotia, Canada, has literally created a snitch line to enforce their draconian hiking ban.

Remember: You are now not allowed to play in the woods until October 15. https://t.co/tR12qJLPBQ pic.twitter.com/hvRYuZnwqr
Being a government setting rules, they are a little sketchy on what qualifies and what doesn't, but, as they make the rules, it's up to you to know what they mean, even if they don't.
This video from Jeff Evely displays the absolute insanity of Nova Scotia Canada's ban on "hiking in the woods" When ANY government ANYWHERE says the words, "for your safety", you should recognize that is a communist style tactic to remove your rights & freedoms with force.… https://t.co/eVtizBv1cH

Another side of the liberal Canadian coin has been their late-blooming love affair with collective guilt over the country's indigenous people.
Two years ago, Canadian churches were burning, and, while there's no gainsaying that abuses happened, Justin Trudeau's government was fanning the fires over rumors of hundreds of indigenous children's bodies being hidden away in paupers' graves in the yard of a Catholic-run boarding school.
...How DARE they not apologize for this abomination, as he invoked his visit with the Pope for good measure.
Justin Trudeau demands Catholic Church apologise following discovery of remains at church-run school
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he is “deeply disappointed” the Roman Catholic Church has not offered a formal apology in the wake of 215 children’s remains being found beneath a church-run Indigenous boarding school.
Only the mythical remains were never found, even after extensive excavations.
The burnings and recriminations continued.
First Nations survivors of what was called the 'Canada Child Welfare System' are now eligible for payouts.
More collective guilt was assuaged last Thursday, when a British Columbia Supreme Court Judge decided that a group of nomadic indigenous tribes, the Cowichan, had a historic claim to some 800 acres of waterfront property in the town of Richmond, BC.
A 🚨bombshell judgement 🚨was released yesterday by BC’s Supreme Court, declaring Aboriginal title over land in Richmond, including private property.

If this stands, it has massive implications for private property across BC.

The court ruled that the titles held by the government and the other property owners were 'legally flawed' and invalid.
...A B.C. Supreme Court judge has recognized the Cowichan Nation’s Aboriginal title to parts of Lulu Island and the Fraser River’s south arm, concluding a five-year, 513-day trial — described as the longest in Canadian history.
The plaintiffs, including five tribes and several individuals, sought declarations of Aboriginal title over approximately 1,846 acres on Lulu Island, which now forms part of Richmond, home to B.C.’s largest airport.
“I agree that Aboriginal title is a prior and senior right to land,” Young writes in the ruling.
...The court confirmed the Cowichan Nation has legal ownership, known as Aboriginal title, over specific lands on Lulu Island and parts of the Fraser River’s south arm.
The court found that when the government issued private land ownership (fee simple) and transferred certain highway lands in Cowichan territory, it wrongly interfered with the Cowichan Nation’s Aboriginal title.
Subsequently, except for lands tied to the Vancouver Airport Fuel Delivery Project, the court ruled that land titles held by Canada and the City of Richmond in Cowichan territory are legally flawed and invalid.
The instructions from the court are interesting.
...It instructs the federal government to negotiate a fair agreement with the Cowichan Nation that respects their Aboriginal title.
The provincial government must also negotiate “in good faith” with the Cowichan Nation to resolve conflicts over private land titles and highway lands in their territory, ensuring the process honours the Crown’s duty to act fairly.
When you consider some of the facts of the case.
For one, the tribes suing never continuously occupied the land and never fought other bands to claim or keep it as theirs.
The court admitted that the band had been semi-nomadic. It hadn’t occupied the lands year round or even expelled competing bands. Nor have they continuously occupied the lands, which were transferred by Crown grants over 100 years ago. 3/

And now what happens to the private landowners who have had their property declared to belong to the Cowichan tribes, who have no duty to regard their welfare?
But the more serious issue – the elephant in the room – is that an indigenous band isn’t accountable to the public, only to its own members. So now your homes can be controlled by bands, who do not have your interest in mind. In fact, they are legally obligated to put their own…

...In fact, they are legally obligated to put their own members’ interest first.
The court, says one observer, 'flippantly' asks 'So, what do we do with those people's titles after we've given their property away?'
But for many years now, our courts have not been particularly concerned about this aspect of aboriginal title. Indeed, the court here asks, almost flippantly, consider not what remains of aboriginal title, but what remains a fee simple title? What remains indeed.
Seriously.
Silly “settlers”, you thought that you owned your homes? A British Columbia judge just decided that you don’t. Aboriginal title has been declared over private property in Richmond. Are you awake yet? 1/ pic.twitter.com/BaKsaEozSh

In Canada, this will require a constitutional change - the absolute right to own your property in the face of indigenous claims going back over a hundred and fifty years or more.
I hope this gets out to every minority community in BC that came here for a bit of security and freedom and to live the “Canadian Dream”.

This should bring the provincial government down if it is not addressed.
What's worse is that the woke premier of BC, David Eby, isn't even sure if he's going to appeal the decision.
I'm not sure it's all about inclusivity, either.
I mean the judge said, 'Play nice.'
...In Justice Young’s Thursday decision, the court stopped short of ordering restitution or compensation. However, it now says the two ownership titles of fee simple and Aboriginal title can, and must, “co-exist.”
The decision therefore requires “honourable” and “good faith” negotiations to continue between the Cowichan tribes and most defendants in the case over ownership and use of the lands — meaning the historically prolonged legal process is still far from over.
But I'm not sure any of these people want to.

Wait 'til the signs go up in Richmond...in someone's former front yard.
Those clever CO-EXIST stickers never meant anything either when it came down to it.
