Without services and attractions, the parks would see far fewer visitors than they already do.
Why not build things (within reason) to promote people to come enjoy the parks and experience some of the best Canada has to offer.

Yuh, it seems that some very minor elements of the story are "accurate"- Parks canada looking at ways to increase revenue etc... So, someone creates a campaign called "Save Jasper National Park from privatization" and people run with it based only on the headline...
Still, Im watching a pretty interesting argument on facebook between this tree hugger i know and a couple other people- just for context, the tree hugger emailed everyone a couple months ago about the 'ol baking soda cures cancer shtick.
