If you do choose to enjoy a walk in the woods, make sure you’re not doing it in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick. The fine is $28,000 (!?) and change, or else 200 hours of (ahem!) “community service” (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4333920/posts). And no, you won’t stumble into the Teddy Bears’ Picnic.
The draconian penalties for “walking in the woods [sic.]’ are necessary, the, um, authorities say, to reduce the chances of a forest fire.
I wonder if they’ll arrest the teddy bears.
They’ve had some monstrous forest fires in Canada, the past few years. Some of them were set on purpose. There will probably be more.
Oh, Canada!
