INTERVIEW: The NS veteran fined $28k for woods walk
'Disrupted' host Melanie Bennet speaks to Jeff Evely, the Nova Scotia veteran fined over $28,000 for walking into the woods
Nova Scotia has imposed Canada’s first climate lockdown.
In this episode of ‘Disrupted,’ host Melanie Bennet examines Nova Scotia’s sweeping provincial ban on free movement, allegedly to prevent wildfires - including talking to the veteran fined over $28,000 for daring to step into the woods.
While the government targets walking in the forest, the data tells a very different story: arson and mismanaged debris burns top the list of causes. Hiking doesn’t even register.
Guests Jeff Evely and retired wildfire commander Peter MacIsaac join the show to expose the policy failures behind Nova Scotia’s fire strategy, the dismantling of early detection systems, and the erosion of Charter rights through arbitrary and unconstitutional enforcement.
All this and more on this week’s episode of Disrupted.
NOTE: Melanie introduces Peter MacIsaac as a forestry technician which was incorrect. Peter is a retired forestry technologist.
