    It sucks that something that was "free" is no longer free, but if it's for the sake of conservation then I'm cool with it. Provinces, states, various places around the world have parks that have a fee associated with entry so like others said this is nothing new.

    For all the comments I see outside of here regarding the fee where people are reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee'ing saying they can't afford to go to Kananaskis any more, how the fuck are you able to afford the gas to drive out there then?

    low income and First Nations exempt, of course
    Low income defined as anyone who makes under 100k/year, naturally.

    Getty and Lougheed were red tories before Ralph balanced our budget. Ralph is the anomaly, not the norm.

    This thread is hilarious.

    Highlights
    1) NDP Balance a budget. LMFAO
    2) $90/ year for an entire car is "taxing the shit" out of you

    These day use areas have turned into an absolute cesspool, with garbage and trash all over the place.
    This fee will allow the parks to hire more enforcement to keep things clean, as it should be.
    The human race is embarrassing with how little we care about litter and garbage.

    Hack, if you're Aboriginal or Metis there is no fee for use.

    Enough internet for today.

    Honestly, if it does this, im all for it. I am just skeptical. Why is this pass going to 'widening 1A at Morley'? Why does it specifically leave out Maclean Creek which annually gets fucked by rednecks. The '20' COs theyre hiring are province wide, not Kananaskis specific..

    20 more CO's will go a long way towards fixing places like MacLean Creek and Dutch Creek etc. You could have a full time one at MacLean from April to November and they'd be busy every day. Actually need about 4 to ensure 24/7 coverage at any one hotspot.

    the province is a big place for 20 dudes.. If maclean creek has specifically been removed from this pass, i would doubt any additional presence there

    Carving out McLean and Waiperous is a massive missed opportunity IMO.

    Hopefully this calms down the amount of cars and traffic because last years’ charity cruise out there had some real slow sections

    I am angry about nearly everything these days, and the specifics of this will just be added to that long list.

    Speaking of which...what's up with camping bookings? I don't camp, because I'm a modern human being with a house and a shower and a mattress.

    But my friends all spaz about getting up at 7am or something to rush to book camping spots all of the place when the bookings open.

    That sounds dumb. Why don't the campground owners (terrible job I bet), just raise their prices and let supply meet demand?

    The kind of people who think this fee is too much money to use the park. Are the kind of people I don’t want using it.
    My issue is its a high fee for one area. Why not just make a Alberta provincial park pass like the Banff pass and then go that route. Raise money for the whole province to improve our campgrounds and parks. Done. All this is going to do is push people to other areas around Kananaskis or into Banff and cause distribution issues as other places get busier.

    Private campsites can book whatever they want whenever. Its the provincial parks that use a 90 day rolling window to release spots. So if you want a long weekend you have to book 3 months out. (Though they have shitty rules where people can overbook/slide to get those spots early.

    Canmore is private land, you wont need it for there. Once you go into the provincial parks/pluz that surround, you would
