The "fifteen-minute cities" are already shrinking. The governments of both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have banned walking in the woods province-wide:
Jeff Evely @JeffEvely got a $28,872 dollar fine for going into the woods in Nova Scotia. FOR GOING INTO THE WOODS! Canada is broken. pic.twitter.com/eOkBa5Cttv — Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱 (@ryangerritsen) August 9, 2025
This would appear to be in breach of Henry III's Charter of the Forest. But then at the dawn of the thirteenth century your average horny-handed peasant was not so in awe of government experts that he presumed they had the right to prevent him taking a stroll. As the popular idiom has it: You can't see the wood. Period.
This is supposedly because a perambulating Nova Scotian would risk setting the trees on fire.
On the other hand, if you intentionally set Canada alight...:
Saskatchewan volunteer firefighter who set 30 fires in a month sentenced for arson Logan Sieben sentenced to 18 months of probation, 200 hours of community service
So twenty-eight grand versus two hundred hours of community service. As it goes metaphorically in the rest of the west, so it goes literally in Canada: the logic of the justice system is that you might as well burn it all down.

Setting 30 fires by a firefighter has a sentence of 18 months probation and 200 hours of community service. 18 times to walk in all chummy with the PO, and 3 hours of volunteer work at a food pantry. Walk in the woods - $28,000. bucks. I’m guessing the firefighter was a stud and the judge was sweet on him.
Bkmk
Canadians are retards. Trump is right, we need nothing they offer.
“I’m guessing the firefighter was a stud and the judge was sweet on him.”
They DEFINITELY do have that weakness.
we just went to Niagara, New York Side. I refused to go to Canada, much to hubby’s amusement. Eff ‘em.
Rage-bait.
Stand with your toes near the US-Canada line and pee across it.....well, the men can do that lol
Canadians can’t see the forest for the lefties.
Draconian fines for even walking in the woods will scare people off from collecting deadfall for their fireplaces and stoves. Letting fuel accumulate on the forest floor: Hello massive forest fires. What sort of short-sighted idiots determined this policy?
Perhaps the cold winters have addled their brains
If You Go Down to the Woods Today.
Your sure in for a big surprise.
...
Because that’s the day the Teddy bears have their picnic.
Here in the US, I go into the forest armed. At age 72, I will not submit to the government demands or fines. Even $100 fine is excessive. I am a citizen, I OWN THE LAND, the people own that land. How about unaliving the homeless and others setting the fires?
...you'd better not go alone. Don't go down to the woods today - it's safer to stay at home. For every bear that ever there was, are gathered there together because, today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic!
WMTA!
