    I’d say they could start passing on the costs for SAR to the people that wind up using it. Nearly 500 calls for service can’t be cheap and knowing they’d be on the hook might stop some people from acting risky

    Learning European history is racist. Or something like that.

    They plan on hiring 20 new Conservation Officers, 50 new park employees, etc etc etc.

    In Alberta. Not just in K Country. Yet all of K Country paying for it.. (and how many of these are just replacing people they let go last year when they closed visitor centres, etc). COs get paid pennies for the amount of BS they have to deal with, they should have more everywhere on the eastern slopes. Fine the shit out of everyone to pay for the cost of them.

    The amount of bitching I hear over this is encouraging. It makes me think that the gov't has done the right thing.

    see also: "new school curriculum"
    Those second graders need to learn about Charlemagne’s impact on early Middle Ages Europe otherwise they’ll fall behind.

    People will bitch about user fees, it’s in their nature. People are used to paying them for parks. The busiest parks in the country are user fee based. It’s been the basis of park management federally and in other provinces for decades.

    This way of implementing user fees is just dumb and inefficient (even from the ‘hut dur all govt is inefficient’ lens of things). And if you like the ideas of user fees and hate the NDP you should also dislike it because it creates an easy political issue to run against and sets up what isn’t an inherently bad concept (user fees for provincial parks) to be recinded because the one that was implemented was flawed at conception and allowed itself to become easily politicized.

    I would have hoped the wildlife would have weeded out the people that shouldn’t be visiting k-country... can we put the fees towards importing more cats and bears??

    The other week I saw a woman strolling out of Bluerock in designer trench coat, jeans, and fucking high heels... like she just went for a casual walk down to the east village

    Didn’t they mandate COs now have to respond to regular emergencies like other levels of law enforcement? Hiring more COs and we will probably have even less enforcement in the wilderness.

    Conservation Officers did get lumped into RAPID to help with rural policing back in December so this is the probable outcome.

    The wokies seem to be upset that the curriculum does not focus on turning our yutes into a bunch of SJWs.

    They’re learning about the American residential school system, seems good enough.

    This is a great idea.

    Gov't should get out of the business of a LOT of things.
    I'll let you guess if that would actually result in a tax reduction or not

    Yet by the same token, if they keep raising taxes are we getting better services? The answer is a hard no...

    I'm not arguing that at all, but in the context of the argument that was provided the implication of paying for something you don't use turning to a user pay system thereby removing that burden from you, is just not an outcome in reality. So its just an argument for the sake of making an argument. That's all I was saying
