    Define “crisis” though.

    Are there active fires in the neighborhood? 100% agree.

    Is there a drought and increased risk for fire? There are appropriate measures for that, no reason for a full ban.

    Masking mandates were appropriate measures at that time, no full stay at home ban was needed. Your comparison makes no sense.

      My definition of crisis is when there are multiple out of control forest fires active in my province. I think restricting activity in high-risk areas makes sense, especially when firefighting resources are already used up fighting existing fires elsewhere in the province.

        Crown land, sure. But they even banned access to things like small city parks with trees. That’s just crazy to me, I’m sorry.

        I am not up to date on the situation, so if there are out of control fires in progress, I definitely agree.

        Comments here make it sound like it was just dry season with a high risk of fire, but no actual fires.
