Help stop the closing 20 park sites and delisting 164 others

[Dewey Cox]

I like parks as much, if not more than the next guy, but the government needs to cut back everywhere.
I can think of a lot of other places I'd prefer cutbacks, but sacrifices have to be made. We can't just spend forever.

From what I gather though a large number of the 164 parks are just areas of land that is just designated parks. No services, for the most part no roads. Just places for people to go and enjoy nature.

I don't understand how delisting these is going to save any money. What money is being spent on them? I am all for cutting spending, the debt is out of control, but if no money is being spent then that raises serious questions.

And if money is being spent on them, stop spending, but leave them designated as parks.

The UPC has no problem spending money, that's for sure. It's just how the money being spent is prioritized.

$32 a night for a tent and these idiots can't figure out why the parks are under used....

We don't use parks for anything other than day use because of this cost. We camp on crown land. While we love our parks, if the cost to use them was more reasonable (maybe $10 - $15/night for tents), we'd spend much more time in them.

It’s not actually cheap to maintain parks. I’m fine with the cost...I don’t “love” paying that much but I understand.

$5 mil saving per year or $1.14 per Albertan.

Probably nothing shady though.....

UCP’s pre covid deficit is larger than that of the NDP’s.

Conservative fiscal responsibility is the biggest BS myth around.

A deficit is based on income available. Who’s spending was higher; NDP or UCP? I’m actually curious. Since incomes are way down Pre-Covid they could cut spending and still have a higher deficit. Plus when the NDP came in and opened the spending floodgates it’s hard to immediately just shut it off.

Stelmach and Redford were not fiscal conservatives.



Need an apples to apples comparison. Redford and Stelmach were more NDP than conservative... Redford was selfish with her lavish office plans.
