Very minor feel-good pledge. Makes me wonder how much it’ll actually cost the government, though I suppose it’s probably very little.
Makes a great sound byte, though I wonder how many people will actually take up their offer. I think if they add some tourism features like more busses and tour guides, along with some nature-related activities, we could get some serious traffic to these parks. Though admittedly I’d then worry about the negative impacts so many people would have towards these parks.
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.
He’s adding new parks
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
That’s great, but we need more national parks.
He’s going to make 10 more.
And 15 new urban parks (I think right now we have just one)
Great news, I love our parks and look forward to some new ones!
I’d like to see free camping for anyone not visiting a National or Provincial park by car. Incentivize cycle touring :)
And portage!
