    Its a nice gesture, but most national parks are two far away for most people that would like to visit.

    I know it’s in a effort to boost the local economy and promote travel within Canada. But the truth is it’s cheaper to go to Europe for 2 weeks.

      Where are you that National Parks are so inaccessible for you?

      I’m not doubting, I have no perspective on this because I’m from Calgary where I go to them on a near weekly basis and it’s cheaper to go to them than anywhere else.

      Funny thing is, very few Calgarians get to go to these places not everyone has a car and options for transit to Banff and Waterton is extremely limiting. It’s definitely a middle/upper class thing
