Curious what those that disagree would think about the fact that Parks Canada's core mandate isn't tourism, it's protecting and sharing natural areas and wildlife for future generations.
Giving Canadians experience in nature and recreation is part of it, sure, but that has to exist within the mandate of maintaining these natural areas, leaving space for wildlife, and not paving them over with parking lots.
