^^ The other thing is- how do they get you to prove you only stopped for an hour; as opposed to a day trip to Banff? Canmore is only 25 km from Banff, and has plently of restaurants and gas stations.
I get what you are saying, but where is the line? I think they currently allow you to get gas, now a meal. What if your kids want to also hit the candy store? As mentioned the fees also cover the costs of parking; and on weekends the town can be quite busy.
