What counts as the woods? Judge axes Nova Scotia’s ban that defied ‘commonsense definitions’

Medium Credibility Center Neutral
Article Summary

As wildfires raged across Nova Scotia last summer, the Canadian province made a simple plea to residents: stay away from the woods. But exactly the emergency rules considered to be “the woods” was a challenge better suited to a philosopher than a confused hiker in a parking lot. But the ban seemed to defy commonsense definitions.” Last week, that same judge found the controversial ban wasn’t just confounding, it also violated Canada’s charter of rights and freedoms.
