Brickbat: The Not-So-Great White North

Kaden Webb says he couldn't afford to own a home in Vancouver, British Columbia, so he bought 12 acres on Prince Edward Island intending to start over there. But when he drove across Confederation Bridge, he was stopped by stopped by Prince Edward Island officials. He showed them the deed to his new property, but under travel restrictions implemented to stop the spread of the coronavirus, Webb also had to prove he'd sold a home in British Columbia or canceled a rental agreement there. He could provide neither because he'd been living in a camper van, so officials forced Webb to turn around. And when he got back to the New Brunswick side of the bridge, officers there told him that under that province's emergency travel restrictions, he had five hours to get out of New Brunswick or he'd be arrested.

How could they find him after 5 hours?

"The thrill of owning his own plot soon had him talking non-stop about building an energy-efficient home". Seriously? Why do these writers feel like they have to add these nonsensical tropes…nobody talks like that, he dreamt of building a home.
You have not met some of the true-believers and their ideological earth-loving home building dreams. Plenty of them around here, and usually combined with electric car fetish.
There a whole genre of programs about that on HGTV.
Being forced to live under a bridge must be the ultimate troll.

Canuck or Quebecois?
Do Canadians swallow?
hosers.
Canada, not even once.
Well, wherever he ends up you can be sure a property tax bill will be waiting for him.
