Freedom Take a Hike!:When Safety Becomes the  Excuse for Control

 Awake Eye 

“If they can ban walking in nature, they can ban anything.”


🚫 The Ban That Crossed the Line

Nova Scotia’s government has done the unthinkable: banned hiking, fishing, and simply being in public natural spaces—under the guise of “preventing wildfires.”


No, this isn’t satire. No, this isn’t about fireworks, campfires, or tossing lit cigarette butts into dry brush.


It’s about banning the most harmless, human act imaginable: walking through the woods.



🔍 Safety Theatre

Nobody here is “pro-fire.” We’re pro-reason.


Fire bans in public and high-risk areas make sense—even if we reject the idea that government should dictate whether a responsible adult can use a safe, contained fire pit on their own land.


Fines for reckless acts? Absolutely.

Keeping motorized vehicles off dry trails? Sure—sparks can start fires.


But hiking? Fishing? Sitting on a rock by the lake?

That’s not fire prevention. That’s population control dressed up as safety.


📜 Rights Aren’t Stolen—They’re Eroded

This is how it happens:


  • “It’s just until the danger passes.”
  • “It’s only for your safety.”
  • “It’s not like we’re taking away real freedoms.”

Until one day, what’s “normal” is unrecognizable.


We’ve seen this movie before—and spoiler alert—it doesn’t end with more freedom.


🌲 The Slippery Slope of ‘Safety’

Today, it’s hiking during dry season.

Tomorrow, it’s closing beaches because “waves are dangerous.”

Next year, it’s shutting down parks because “large gatherings could spread disease.”


If you’re fine with banning nature to avoid what might happen, you’re fine with the state banning anything, anytime, anywhere—if they say the right scary words.



🚨 The Rat Line Returns

They’ve even set up a hot-line so you can rat out your neighbours.


Sound familiar? Same COVID playbook: turn citizens into unpaid enforcers. And some people live for it—itching to catch someone “breaking the rules” so they can feel important while the government pats them on the head.


This isn’t about fires any more than those snitch calls were about health. It’s about control—and the thrill some people get from helping enforce it.


And it’s always the same crowd. When the ban gets tossed out in court? They won’t apologize. They’ll already be cheerleading the next “emergency” mandate.


🧠 The Real Risk

If pushback grows and the ban faces legal defeat, history suggests we might suddenly see a wave of “coincidentally timed” fires to prove it was needed all along.


Natural? Maybe.

Engineered? Wouldn’t be the first time.


We’ve seen these patterns before—and pretending they don’t exist is how they keep working.


💸 The Climate Cash Con Job

We’ve had decades of politicians screaming “climate emergency.”

Decades of taxes, regulations, and restrictions in the name of “protecting the planet.”


And yet… here we are. No dedicated fleet of water bombers.

No enhanced wildfire monitoring systems.

No state-of-the-art equipment for the crews risking their lives on the front lines.


Why?


Because the same officials who tell you nature is under existential threat somehow found endless money to:


  • Send billions to Ukraine.
  • Fund gender studies in Bangladesh.
  • Train people overseas not to defecate on beaches.
  • Put refugees in hotels for years on end.

But when it comes to protecting our own forests, investing in water bombers, upgrading crew equipment, or building early detection systems — suddenly the pockets are empty.


If they truly believed the climate crisis was as urgent as they claim, they’d have spent the last 20 years preparing for it.


Instead, they prepared you — to accept the bans, the fines, the “emergency” restrictions… while the actual tools to fight fires never arrived.


🛠 What We Should Be Doing Instead

If you want to prevent wildfires, equip communities.

Invest in fire suppression.

Manage forests properly.

Educate the public.


You don’t protect land by locking people out of it—you protect it by building a culture that values and stewards it.


🧪 The Test Case They Want You to Ignore

A Canadian veteran recently walked into one of these “forbidden” areas on purpose—after calling ahead to confirm the ban. He wasn’t reckless. He didn’t start a fire.


He got the fine he needed to challenge it in court.


Because without that fine, there’s no legal challenge.

Without the challenge, there’s no ruling.

And without the ruling, this precedent stands—ready to be used again and again.


If the courts uphold it, congratulations—you’ve just greenlit seasonal lockdowns of nature. Every August to October. Forever.


⚡ The Side You’re On

You either believe public land belongs to the public,

or you believe it’s a privilege handed out by the state.


There is no middle ground.


🧠 Truth Drop

Banning walking in nature isn’t fire prevention.

It’s compliance training.


And if they can train you to accept that, they can train you to accept anything.


🧠 A Little Shock for the System

If you came into this expecting to roll your eyes because you thought we were “the other side,” yet you’ve found yourself nodding along… congratulations.


You just practised critical thinking — something we’re all told we have, but rarely use when the topic wears the “wrong” team’s colours.


That’s the real trick they play: turn every issue into a team sport so you never notice when the people you thought were your enemies are saying something you actually agree with.


If you can see through that game here, you can start seeing through it everywhere.
