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.

I will go for that deal, you charge me $100.00 every time I enter the city and I will charge you $100.00 every time you leave the city and enter an RM.
Your city taxes pay for roads in the city, my land taxes pay for roads in my RM.
I also pay municipal, provincial and federal taxes.
I also buy the appropriate licenses, you do realize that you pay to hunt public land through your taxes. I don't know about Alberta but here I pay for a Habitat Certificate on top of all other license fees. The funds from that Habitat Certificate go directly to land purchases by the gov't to provide hunting opportunities. I don't complain about that extra fee even though I have no need to hunt public land.
