National Parks Should Not be Privatized

An artist's rendition of the proposed Glacier Discovery Walk
I don't get it. For a fiscally conservative government the Conservatives seem to enact some hypocritical policies such as Bill C-10 (omnibus crime bill): a one billion dollars for cost Ontario alone and the 165 million per unit F35 joint strike fighter, working radio equipment sold separately.

If that was not enough there is a project in the works that would allow a private company to profit off of our natural parks. Even if you are not against the above policies aggressively pursued by the current government (I am) one has to at least ask why our fiscally conservative government is anything but.

If we must build a pay-for-use "discovery" walk at least let the revenues benefit the national park, the province or something constructive.
