Canada\u2019s overregulation comes at the price of our freedom.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh Canada! The land of breathtaking nature, crystal lakes, and the Canadian Rockies. Too bad you won\u2019t be able to experience it much longer. As of August 5, the province of Nova Scotia is banning travel and activities<\/a> in its forests due to a rising concern of climate change and an increase in prevalence of wildfires. Under the ban, people are barred from hiking, camping, fishing, driving vehicles through the woods, and using forest trails. Still feeling like taking an early morning constitutional? You will be fined $25,000<\/a> for your civil disobedience. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are restricting travel and activities that really aren’t necessary… hiking, camping, fishing, and the use of vehicles in the woods are not permitted. Trail systems through woods are off limits… This situation sucks… I know it\u2019s inconvenient… but we have to stay out of the woods. It\u2019s a small price to pay to avoid the kind of devastation we saw from the wildfires in 2023,\u201d said<\/a> Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston. <\/p>\n

Sucks indeed. The local government\u2019s justifications for these \u201csafety\u201d restrictions are slowly and steadily eroding people\u2019s liberties to partake in the most basic of activities, like simply walking in the outdoors. <\/p>\n

New Brunswick, Canada has recently joined in<\/a> on Nova Scotia\u2019s hiking ban. However, NB Premier Susan Holt has taken it one step further: people are forbidden to go into the woods because they might<\/em> get hurt, and emergency responders won\u2019t be able to save them. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re out there walking in the woods and you break your leg, we\u2019re not going to come and get you,\u201d said<\/a> Holt. <\/p>\n

While some may think these are reasonable precautions taken by the government for the \u2018greater good\u2019 of the Canadian people, the reality depicts a different story—one where climate alarmism, fearmongering, and government overreach create an environment where your individual rights and liberties are swept aside for whatever the government wants in the moment. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fearmongering Expands Government\u2019s Powers<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Canadian politicians and think tanks alike incessantly warn of the dangers posed by \u2018man-made climate change,\u2019 including the heightened risk of wildfires through Canada\u2019s many wooded areas. The Canadian Climate Institute, a government-funded research organization<\/a>, explicitly states<\/a> that, \u201c[a]ccelerating climate change, largely from the burning of fossil fuels, makes wildfires bigger, hotter, and more frequent,\u201d and \u201c[o]ur research finds that to keep Canadians safe, governments must play both defence and offence—protecting people and ecosystems while accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels to limit further heating.\u201d <\/p>\n

Apart from camping bans and regulating outdoor walks, another way the Canadian government is fighting climate change is by spending $14.4 million<\/a> in taxpayer dollars on 17 projects to \u201cempower young Canadians to address climate change,\u201d and to prepare themselves for the pending \u201cclimate emergency.\u201d <\/p>\n

There\u2019s just one problem: the government\u2019s frenzy over \u201cman-made climate change\u201d is simply a trojan horse in its attempt to expand its authority over citizens\u2019 private lives.<\/p>\n

According to<\/a> Premier Houston himself: \u201cMost wildfires are caused by human activity, so to reduce the risk, we\u2019re keeping people out of the woods until conditions improve.\u201d In fact, the most common and widely experienced source of wildfires is not the climate, but various human activities, chief among them being intentional acts of arson. For example, it is estimated that 40 percent<\/a> of wildfires that affect British Columbia in an average year are human-induced. Meanwhile, in the US, around 85 percent of the nearly 100,000 wildland fires that affect North America every year are caused by human activity, according to<\/a> data from the National Park Service. A far cry from the impeding climate change disaster government officials want people to believe. The truth of the matter is, that these hiking bans won\u2019t stop arsonists from intentionally setting fires, or prevent lighting strikes—the source of nearly half<\/a> of all Canadian wildfires. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Canadians, the facts won\u2019t save them. Getting arrested for unauthorized hiking could land them larger fines and more jail time than arsonists<\/a> who deliberately start fires in Canadian forests. It\u2019s not about safety, it\u2019s always about control. <\/p>\n

Restricting Liberties is Canada\u2019s Black Letter Law, and Won\u2019t Go Away Anytime Soon <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Under Canada\u2019s Forests Act<\/a>, a Minister may at any time, \u201cset aside for any period of time a restricted travel zone in any area of woods upon which no person shall enter for the purpose of traveling, camping, fishing or picnicking, or any other purpose, without a travel permit… A forest travel permit may be cancelled or suspended at any time by the Minister, a conservation officer or other person authorized by the Minister.\u201d You read that right. The Canadian government can, at any time<\/em>, restrict your ability to go hiking or camping, and can obligate you to purchase a travel permit<\/em> to do so. After all, walking in the woods is a privilege, not a codified right or liberty. <\/p>\n

This shouldn\u2019t be surprising. Canada has recently been more heavy handed when it comes to compelling people to follow its restrictions—including its more illiberal laws<\/a>. During the trucker convoy protests of 2022, thousands of truckers and their supporters peacefully protested the Trudeau government\u2019s Covid vaccine mandates. How did the government react to these protests? It froze their bank accounts<\/a>, canceled credit cards, and handed out multi-year criminal sentences<\/a>, simply for exercising \u2018free\u2019 speech. <\/p>\n

Since then, there has been no backtracking, redirection, or even an apology from the Canadian government for stifling its citizens\u2019 democratic rights. In fact, it has only doubled down, expanding its hate speech laws<\/a> which threaten prison time for inciting \u201chatred,\u201d a term which is loosely defined, if at all. <\/p>\n

Canada shows us what happens when a people are overdependent on an ever-expanding bureaucratic government<\/a>. What may start as free transportation, childcare services, and food assistance, can quickly degrade into hate speech laws and restrictions on where you can walk outside. Once you give an inch of your civil liberties away, there\u2019s no telling how much a government will take in turn. <\/p>\n

As economist Friedrich A. Hayek said: \u201cThe chief evil is unlimited government, and nobody is qualified to wield unlimited power.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
