Apparently, the Canadian province of Nova Scotia is taking proactive steps .. to ensure their leftist government officials are not subjected to any protests similar to what’s happening in Ottawa or other regions.
Using their pre-existing state of emergency, the “Province today, January 28, issued a directive under the Emergency Management Act prohibiting protesters from blockading Highway 104 near the Nova Scotia-New Brunswick border.”
...
According to the provincial government, “fines for a summary conviction under the new directive will range from $3,000 to $10,000 for individuals and between $20,000 and $100,000 for a corporation.” Additionally, “outdoor gatherings of more than 20 people are prohibited under a Health Protection Act order.”
At the same time tens-of-thousands of Canadians are rallying for freedom in the nation’s capital city, Nova Scotia says citizens will obey the government or be arrested, fined and punished by provincial authorities for their noncompliance. Talk about a totally tone-deaf governing authority.
I’m glad your experience was pleasant. I went there in the autumn of ‘18 or there about and PEI as well.
It is time for tar and feathers. Because I’m lenient, if they’re allergic to feathers, we’ll use polyurethane foam.
I looked it up on Google Maps. There are a couple of back roads that can get you in from N.B., but for true, safe goods transport, it seems, the only route is N.B. 2/N.S. 104.
That’s a damned shame. Their conservatives are obviously not Rand Pauls or Ron DeSantises.
I’ve been on four cruises to Nova Scotia over the past seven years. Loved it every time. The people were friendly and gracious, and the scenery was beautiful.
I was on PEI in that same trip. I went to a ScotiaBank to convert some US dollars into Candian dollars so I could pay that sky-high toll to get back into N.B. The young lady who converted my money to Canadian was also pretty and feminine. When I told her why I was getting the money converted, she said, yes, that toll is pretty high, eh? or something like that.
FTR, the toll on that public-private bridge, at the time, was C$45.50, and I’m sure it’s gone up significantly since then. Fortunately, it’s only imposed on N.B.-bound travelers.
Youngkin will have to find a way to removed embedded leftist state employees that will a detriment to his policy changes.
Canadians are really friendly people. I know some folks, like Dennis Prager, say Americans are friendly, and to easygoing folks like Prager, they probably are, but I haven’t really experienced general friendliness towards strangers in my own country the way I did in Canada. Sure, in America, there are always some strangers who are friendly to me, but I guess Canada just gave me a better impression.
They are far to the right of QUebec government (which is populist/and conservative for Quebec), around the same place as Ontario, and to the left of Alberta (though Kenny can’t stay put as to where he is on COVID) and Saskatchewan, all of which are nominally governed by the main conservative party. Alberta does have two other significant parties that are farther to the right, with the result that there is a decent chance that the socialists will get in once Kenny has finished fluttering whichever way the wind blows.
Quebec is more like France. Not so open.
One side is fighting, one side seems to be waking up.

Canada used to be sort of a free country...

Ooh. That would be an awful place for, say, a multi-lane semi accident. Speaking purely hypothetically, of course.
