Canada's climate lockdown pilot scheme

Six days ago, the Canadian province of Nova Scotia announced a total ban on hiking, camping, hunting or other human activity in the forest.

A breach of this new rule is punishable by a fine up to 28,000 Canadian dollars.

Then, yesterday, New Brunswick decided to enforce a similar ban in their forests.

The aim, proponents claim, is to prevent wildfires. However, in years past, a ban on campfires was deemed good enough during wildfire season or periods of drought. A full ban on all human activity is unprecedented.

Nevertheless, there is a rather predictable list of people defending the move with language that's all too familiar:

It rather feels like a mini-Climate lockdown. A pilot scheme to test the public response. Canada makes an ideal testing ground, they have the buzz of a newly "elected" leader and were at the forefront of Covid measures and compliance.

They'll be watching to see how people respond to this.

Nova Scotia and New Brunswick folks making this over-the-top RIDICULOUS and most offensive ban on forest activity have gone " bat-shit insane " with their so-called authority. It is completely contrary to the Canadian Charter and human dignity and they will learn that the hard way I suspect - when they become what will be referred to as " little canada " - after the better provinces choose to depart the tyranny of it.

~

Moreover - behind the scenes I suspect somebody or some entity is hiding something in the forest there in "little canada" - cause this literally makes no sense. If I couldn't be a "forest walker" - and I don't think I'm alone in this regard - I would go insane. This is a travesty in conflict with human dignity and health - it is criminal.

Place your bets!

ps - check this out - In 2020, Nova Scotia had 3.44 Mha of natural forest, extending over 62% of its land area. In 2024, it lost 16.9 kha of natural forest, equivalent to 6.18 Mt of CO₂ emissions.

Buffalo_Ken I would assume this ban is just an excuse to keep the slave population off "their" private property and keep them thinking the people own it. A non public entity (investment banks) owns the land and controls the government , they are protecting their investment and calling it climate change. It's my understanding, most if not all "public land" in the US and Canada has been leveraged as collateral and is no longer public only in name.

Buffalo_Ken · 2025-08-13T14:30:43Z

Psstoffgoy - I don't doubt that a bit - but it is plumb wrong - it ought piss folks off - but seems so many just are willing to "sell their liberty" for comfort - that is a recipe for trouble in the future beyond.....it is a recipe for extinction.

boli · 2025-08-11T16:13:25Z

The real solution is right in front of our faces.

The FIRST DUTY of a Juror in any Trial alleging a crime against the State is to determine whether the Law which the Defendant is being charged with violating is (a) a Good Law and (b) applied properly. If the answer to either of these questions is No, there is no need to proceed - there is no guilt.

If it's a Good Law, and properly applied, then continue the Trial, and see whether the Defendant is actually guilty.

By the Way, proper application includes a reasonable punishment for the guilty. Fining someone $1,000,000,000 for jay-walking is clearly unreasonable.

evilbughead · 2025-08-11T18:40:05Z

boli I'm sorry but since 2020 this country is no longer reasonable, just saying. It'll only get worse this day forward. You can vote for Socialism but you can't vote it out, lead is needed for that, and I'm afraid in 10yrs lead will no longer be available to the "plebes".

Spur · 2025-08-12T23:18:18Z

boli Boli, you are clearly thinking of a RATIONAL legal system. Unfortunately, there was a serious shift in the basis of law in the Commonwealth countries in the late 1800s. I wrote about this rise in 'legal positivism' in a case that I did here in Australia. If you read the article you will understand what happened. [Link]
Essentially, in legal positivism what ever the government says is law is the law, no matter how stupid it is.

boli · 2025-08-13T15:16:19Z

Spur No doubt.

But if Trial by Jury is available, the point stands. I''ve not seen any requirement for Jurors to explain their verdicts.

Your five-legged dog may prove otherwise...

Spur · 2025-08-13T15:23:39Z

boli The judges have a 'trick' for the juries. The juries are only finders of FACT. That is, they are limited to only dealing with the facts of the case. Thus, did the defendant commit the alleged crime (ie: go into the woods, yes or no).

The judge on the other hand is the one who applies the applicable law.

The jury never gets to deal with the law.

Buffalo_Ken · 2025-08-13T15:52:36Z

Spur - well if the system is this corrupt and totally subsumed to tyranny - tis time to flay some judges who abide by it in conflict with founding principles.

I'll check out the article you linked - and God Bless you if you stand in opposition.

Oh gracious - I knew I found another "decent barrister" in you Spur - thanks for the link it is most relevant for me on a personal level.

This article is a result of a discussion I had with Dee [McLachlan] about a case I did back in 1988-89. I was approached by some people that were challenging the Egg Industry Act. The plaintiff, an egg farmer, had run out of money and now they needed a barrister to continue the case on a spec/pro bono basis. Having lost at the Supreme Court level, the case was now in the Court of Appeal. I was only two years at the Bar and had never appeared in the Supreme Court, let alone the Court of Appeal.I agreed to take a look at the documents. Almost immediately I was close to puking. The former sleazy/incompetent lawyers had pleaded an alleged constitutional issue that the legislation was not one for the ‘peace, welfare or good government’. The reason for my indigestion was that issue had been decided in the Union Steamship case in the High Court BEFORE those lawyers had filed the pleadings. This case was a dead loser right out of the gate and they had strung him along until his money ran out. The legislation they were challenging was a typical ‘pay to play’ piece of rubbish that Australian Parliaments are so fond of passing.

Buffalo_Ken · 2025-08-13T16:00:35Z

Buffalo_Ken - one thing leads to another - I haven't read the rest of the link provided above - but I think this is related and might merit some study for up and coming barristers - think they know about justice.

[Link]

APPEAL from the Supreme Court of New South Wales.DECISIONMASON C.J., WILSON, BRENNAN, DEANE, DAWSON, TOOHEY AND GAUDRON JJ. This is an appeal against an order of the New South Wales Court of Appeal dismissing an appeal by the appellant employer against an award made by the Compensation Court (Freeman J.)by which that court found that it had jurisdiction to determine a claim brought by the respondent employee for compensation for boilermaker's deafness. One question arguedbefore this Court was whether the relevant provisions of s.46 of the Workers' Compensation Act 926 (N.S.W.) ("the State Act") were valid laws of the State of New South Wales as laws for the peace, welfare and good government of the State. Another issue argued was whether s.46() of the State Act is inoperative, by reason of inconsistency with the provisions of the Seamen's Compensation Act 9 (Cth) ("the Commonwealth Act").2. The reason why the validity of the State Act was a critical issue in the Compensation Court is to be found in one fundamental diﬀerence in the provisions of the two statutes. The respondent's loss of hearing does not entitle him to claim compensation under the Commonwealth Act because it has not impaired his capacity to earn full wages. Under the State Act impairment of capacity to earn or work is not a condition precedent to a successful claim for workers' compensation.

Spur "Gets to"?

Jurors are routinely lied to, told that their only job is to decide whether the evidence supplies proof that the law was broken by the Defendant. Australia may differ, but so far US does not prevent Jurors from voting according to their own conscience.

What keeps every defense lawyer from making sure the Jurors know that it is within their power to consider the law itself? Simply that all lawyers are members of a single club, and that membership in that club is required in practice, and that judges are higher in the club and can rather easily make sure a non-compliant lawyer winds up looking for another career.

So "gets to" is pointless. They can, and they don't because they don't know it.

Spur · 2025-08-13T20:23:56Z

boli I have often argued privately for 'jury nullification' of bad laws. However, it is not allowed in Court, although I managed to slip it in a bit side wise in one case during my final arguments. That caused a shit-storm and went on appeal. The appeal court never addressed the actual issue and the issue never came back to me personally. Just like the link to the article I provided, the judges are a slippery lot and what the judgement says may have little to do with what actually happened in court.

Here is Oz the legal system makes a distinct difference in facts and law. The jury decides facts, the judge decides law. It is a shit system that results in many injustices.

It a psychological ploy, the jury is absolved from the injustice as they only decide the facts. If they don't like the law, then the common reply is to change the law through the corrupt parliament.

boli · 2025-08-13T20:55:02Z

Spur US laws do not exclude consideration of the Law from Jury Rights - not yet, as far as I know. There are quotes from SC Justices verifying that. Sorry to hear your version of BritLaw has killed the true intention of Jury Trial.

The Ballot Box having failed, as well as the Jury Box (there), it may be time for the Cartridge Box.

Buffalo_Ken · 2025-08-13T21:23:44Z

Spur - uh in general being called to "jury duty" is a service all citizens agree to - but the jury cannot be held "accountable" for a decision made by peers when jury duty is random and not really "voluntary" - but that is the price of justice and if they got things mixed up in Oz - then seems that place will fall with the rest of the misbegotten uk system of evident depravity.

~

Ultimately though - justice at bottom is enforced locally - especially with corrupt judges who MUST be held to account locally - and then justice gets delivered small-scale.....cause really - some things are beyond control of a corrupt judge - and justice is first and foremost that - justice pure - it demands service to Lady Libra holding the scales and such.

Spur · 2025-08-13T21:44:04Z

boli Oh yes, the cartridge box. Unfortunately in Oz there were a number of psy-ops and media push for the disarmament of Australians. I helped a producer/director put together a short (10 minute) video on the Port Arthur Massacre. [Link]
Such a short video doesn't allow for the considerable evidence that goes against the official narrative. I provided her a full length screen play that covers a lot more evidence and makes it very easy to follow the evidence through the dialogue. - Not surprisingly, nobody wanted to get involved (after all the government does kill people).

However, there is another producer that is getting involved (Paul Moder) and you can find some of his short videos on the 'net. He wants to put together a full length movie. Fun fact, when he first announced that he was going to do a movie about Port Arthur it was from the perspective that Bryant (the patsy) was guilty. I sent him both the video and the screen play and now he's got a real fire in his belly to tell the truth about Port Arthur. I hope he is successful.

boli · 2025-08-13T22:10:05Z

Spur Ta. i'll take a look when i get some space. well, and time, too. Can't have the one without the other, can we?

Buffalo_Ken · 2025-08-13T22:24:57Z

Spur - very informative...telling.

Seems the shooter was a "pro" no doubt. A professional killer...odds are this is important - who hired the son of a bitch one wonders....

~

as a commenter expressed I do as well:

And if Mr. Tarrant (or whatever his real name is or was) only spent 45 days in Australia over the last 3 years, who the hell was funding his travelling and living expenses? Doesn’t travelling overseas require visas? and airline tickets? and hotel bills? and food costs? and not to mention purchases of weapons, ammo, body armour and go-pro cameras to film the operation in order to carry out a terrorist operation. As Scomo says, “such questions are practical and necessary” and “New Zealand has world class police, medical and forensic staff” How about these “world class police” do their damn job and stop allowing these atrocities to happen. They really do think we’re stupid.

Spur · 2025-08-14T00:22:22Z

boli If you take a look at the comments to the video you will find one of my draft scenes from the screen play. It will give you an idea of the depth of research I did, plus it shows how the dialogue between characters can make it easy to explain the evidence. It saves months of going through witness statements, videos, audio recordings, pictures, forensic reports, etc. - The average person without a legal background can easily understand the evidence and after reading it there will be no doubt as to Martin Bryant's innocence.

Ken, as far as the Christchurch massacre. There is an excellent video by Max Igun where he goes through Tarrant's video during the massacre. It is patently obvious that Tarrant is being directed by others - this was not a 'lone gunman' massacre. That is the reason that the NZ government put a ban (14 years imprisonment as I recall) on anyone viewing the video.

Igun also had some help from a few friends in NZ and they tracked down the house of one of the conspirators. Once Igun posted the video, the occupants moved out the next day and disappeared.

Buffalo_Ken · 2025-08-14T00:33:05Z

Spur - much thanks sir - and anybody thinks it is criminal to literally "watch" a video must really have no concept of Lady Libra and the scales she holds in balance . No wonder - what's her name - former lady leader so-called in New Zealand - has departed. No wonder on that.

New Zealand Leader Jacinda Ardern served as the Prime Minister of New Zealand from 2017 to 2023, making her the country's third female prime minister and the youngest leader since Edward Stafford in 1856. She became the 40th Prime Minister of New Zealand on 26 October 2017, at the age of 37, following her election as leader of the Labour Party in August 2017. Ardern, who was born on 26 July 1980 in Hamilton, New Zealand, was known for her focus on people, kindness, and pragmatic idealism, leading New Zealand through significant challenges including the Christchurch mosque attacks, a volcanic eruption, and the COVID-19 pandemic. She resigned from office in January 2023 and is now a fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, where she continues to advocate for women's empowerment, climate action, and public leadership.

At the end of the day these entities causing so much harm will one by one be revealed - and justice awaits them - and if they are guilty as determined by a jury of peers - then no judge has authority to change the verdict. If a judge does, then said judge deserves harsh punishment cause LAW is commonly known and common law if not inviolate it stands above any state entity that formed from it.

That is that Spur Sir.

Tis my view that many know this already, and many are ready to take justice into our own hands - cause if the state is subsumed and if judges corrupt, then tis the duty of citizens to be indignant to preserve the liberty our forefathers fought and died for - and that means one must be willing to sacrifice convenience and comfort in support of liberty. Reality is there are many ready and willing - and some perhaps don't realize how quickly comfort can depart - but when it happens if it does - then lets remain focused on the cause of the troubles - and they are known on an individual basis - and well - this is a long sentence and the time is NOW.

They should protect forests from DEWs, not from visitors.

Buffalo_Ken · 2025-08-11T23:41:54Z

indigo solo - now we are getting closer to the heart of the matter - reality is those forest are in jeopardy if nobody is allowed to be there - cause nefarious forces are planning harm to the forest under the guise of protecting them - and that is criminal.

So I encourage everybody in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick who care about the future of their home to go into the forest and keep an eye out on things - something is amiss. If you get fined for this, depending on the circumstances just accept the ticket, but if the circumstances are most circumspect, then be prepared to disable the enforcers of an edict senseless - and tell them to their faces when you take them out of commission - and then depending on what they do - either tie them up and leave them for somebody else to find or put them out of their misery - cause the forest in "little canada" are in jeopardy no doubt - lets be honest shall we - this is insane and it demands citizens who care about their homeland to bring it to a head - and then will be time to confront the tyrants - so be prepared, well-armed, and don't obey insane rules - non-compliance is called for and enforcement is unlikely to have the will against their own kin flabbergasted and frustrated and fedup with tyranny.

An experiment in compliance and global warming propaganda. Unfortunately, many Canadians accept this.

If Newscum in California tries to close down Yosemite or Sequoia National parks, Californians would not stand for it (unless they've been replaced with illegal immigrants...).

going wild

somehow, some way, we must prevent civilization from falling into the wrong hands.

if we build and install enough surveillance devices and establish round-the-clock security measures, accompanied by a complete and unbreachable set of laws, we will do just that.

if the 'wrong hands' know they're going to get caught and punished severely for any transgressions (ie., violations of law), this will effectively keep civilization safe, forever-free and growing accordingly.

thank you.

thank you.

Sheds some light on his net worth.

Buffalo_Ken · 2025-08-13T16:04:17Z

JTF Truth - is this "timmy" fella behind the recent ban associated with forest walkers in Nova Scotia?

Well - if so, I reckon time to do some digging on his past - oh gracious - betcha there are many still alive from this time:

Early Career In 1995, Tim Houston and his wife, Carol, moved to Bermuda, where Houston worked as an accountant and consultant in the reinsurance industry. (Reinsurance is insurance for insurance companies.) During this time, Houston worked for Deloitte, a London-based consultancy firm. He also worked for a reinsurance company called Inter-Ocean Holdings and various other holdings companies.

"re-insurance" - sons of bitches - that is probably even worse than regular insurance ....which let me inform you is a big time SCAM. My guess is "re-insurance" is closely tied with what are referred to as "derivative instruments" - you know - weapons of mass destruction fiscally.

oh gracious - there is no way to stop a Forest Walker - now please just the fucking truth - tell me if I'm reading this incorrectly please.

Ken

JTF Truth · 2025-08-13T16:52:14Z

Buffalo_Ken There is definitely something not right with this fella.

Buffalo_Ken · 2025-08-13T17:35:07Z

JTF Truth - I saw he advocated for essentially eliminating the choice of the folks in the province - and apparently they acquiesced to this - and well - you get what you deserve I reckon. But I suspect he like so many others supposed leaders of the Maple Leaf of Canada - are already succumbed to outside influence - and that is a shame - but that land deserves better - and if I ever lived somewhere where they tried to lockdown entry to the forest - I would not stand for it.

Glad I don't live in a tyrannical place like that gone over the top - they must be addicted to baby juice is all I can figure - they must think - "they rule the world" - oh how wrong they are. And little do they know - their addictions will be what seals their fate when justice is delivered with precision.

JTF Truth · 2025-08-14T01:44:38Z

Buffalo_Ken Agreed. He's influenced by some group, even though he shows no association with, cfr wef, bildeberger or tri-lat commission.

Seems to also have amassed a pretty amount of $$. No doubt through his caribbean connections.
