Everytime I read a Government of Nova Scotia news release, I get a very Orwellian feeling come over me. Its 1984 all over again:

The province has moved to ensure the safety of a Nine Mile River neighbourhood this week under the Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods Act.
...
"That also makes access difficult for other emergency responders. This puts everyone in danger including firefighters, paramedics, occupants of the building and entire neighbourhoods."
...
The Department of Justice encourages people to report problem properties by calling, toll free, 1-877-357-2337.

I would like to meet the person that writes these, and apply for an internship position.
