Yes I pay city taxes,provincial taxes, and federal taxes, but I receive direct benefits in return. I don't pay a fee just to enter our city, our province, or our country, and I don't pay a fee to enter public land to hunt or fish. I buy the appropriate licences, but those are required to hunt and fish regardless of where I hunt or fish, be it public or private.

Wow can you imagine the whining, moaning and dripping if landownerswhere to form a coalition of a township of land and charge $100 a day per head. Maybe we could afford to buy our own grader to keep the roads in good shape. That would be something wouldn't it.

I guess that it would be just as fair to charge every rural resident a fee of $100 per head every time they entered our cities, to help pay for our roads and facilities?
I grew up in a rural area, and the family still owns land, we just don't whine about wanting to charge someone to hunt on it.
