ELI5 - you own a house, with a partner and children. You think smelling lavender is incredible, and you want other people to smell it. So you tell everyone in your house that anyone can burn a lavender candle any time they want.
One of your children doesn't like lavender, so they tell everyone else in the house that they don't want people burning a lavender candle in their room.
That's a really simplified relationship of feds to provinces. The Fed's own the house, and make the rules. But the feds allow the provinces to make their own rules (within reason). While the land is technically owned by the federal government, it's still in a province, and can further be downloaded to a municipality. Which can make their own laws, even if the province and feds says you can do the thing.
Yeah I don't have a problem with Liberal provinces like NS making (imo) bullshit rules because provincial rights all the way. We should have more of that, in fact - let the Prairies have NR AR-15s while Quebec bans double barrel assault shotguns.

In Nova Scotia it’s illegal to shoot on crown land and you can’t hunt on Sundays
