American journalist James O’Keefe travelled to Nova Scotia to attempt to receive a fine for defying the province’s ban on hiking in the woods, but was ultimately not charged.

O’Keefe, the founder of O’Keefe Media Group, said in an Aug. 26 video on X that he travelled to Sydney, N.S., to purposely try to receive a $25,000 fine after seeing Canadian Armed Forces veteran Jeff Evely receive a $28,872.50 ticket for hiking in the woods in the Sydney area. Evely had went against the provincial orders on Aug.8 in order to protest the law. After receiving the fine, he filed a legal challenge against the forest access ban, with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms representing him in court.
