In a viral case of "extreme entitlement" on April 3, 2026, Parks Canada wardens officially issued a record-breaking fine to a visitor in Banff National Park. The individual was caught on camera approaching a roadside grizzly bear with a pointed paper party hat, apparently attempting to "celebrate" the bear's first week out of hibernation for a social media stunt. While the bear fortunately retreated into the brush without attacking, the stunt violated strict federal wildlife harassment laws. Wardens used the incident to remind the public that under the Canada National Parks Act, interfering with a bear's natural behavior—especially for a photo op—can lead to a mandatory court appearance and fines up to $25,000. For this "party-goer," the final bill for a single selfie was a staggering $5,000 and an immediate ban from the park. Park 'tFeedTheBears
