if entering a c-train platform with an expired bus ticket can get you a $150 or $250 ticket (please correct me on this if i'm wrong - this is just what i've heard the fine is), dumping your garbage in banff, mclean creek, whatever other nature area people are using should be at least a $500 minimum -vehicles: $5,000 + towing costs. Due to the this being a very stupid and lazy thing to do as well as the difficulty of catching someone doing it, when they are slap them with a VERY hefty fine.

Totally agree - especially about abandoned vehicles. I don't know what the fine is right now, but obviously it's not enough. And it's easy to track whose vehicle it is. Just hit the registry, then mail them a $5,000 fine. Then they can't re-register any other vehicles until the fine is paid.
