Viva Frei: Veteran Gets $28,000 Fine For "Walking In Woods" In Canada w/ Jeff Evely – Ask Dr. Drew

A veteran was fined $28,000 for stepping into the woods during Nova Scotia’s strict wildfire ban. Will states like Oregon or California implement similar restrictions as they face increasing wildfires and how much pressure are they willing to use to get citizens to comply? ••「 LINKS & SOURCES」•• Jeff Evely, a retired Master Warrant Officer with 20 years of service, recorded himself breaking the “Stay Out of the Woods” order in Coxheath, Nova Scotia, in protest of the restrictive ban on all hiking and camping until October 15. The video went viral as another example of Canadian government overreach.
