Residents were previously barred from entering wooded areas due to elevated wildfire risks caused by prolonged hot and dry conditions across the province.
On Monday's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Canadian Armed Forces veteran Jeff Evely joined the show to discuss the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia ruling that the province’s 2025 ban on entering the woods was unconstitutional.
The ruling comes after Evely was fined $28,872.50 for defying the sweeping 'woods ban' that was imposed on Nova Scotia residents in light of increased wildfire concerns. The CAF veteran defied the ban in an act of peaceful civil disobedience by simply going for a walk in the woods before he was fined by authorities.
In a statement provided to the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms — who funded Evely's lawyers — Evely expressed his gratitude for the decision and happiness that he could help safeguard Canadians' rights and freedoms:
“True, loving Canadian patriots understand that we all have a sacred, civic duty to safeguard these rights and freedoms we’ve inherited for future generations. That’s why we sing ‘we stand on guard for thee.’ This decision is a win for the future of Canada, and I am very happy to have had the opportunity to do right by those who went before me."
