While many have to pay to access any of the dozens of parks across the country, there is a group that has been granted free admission.

Man I can't believe we're giving newcomers easier access to the truly wonderful and remarkable parts of our nation, thus giving them something to actually love about Canada. How horrible.

    But it is really fair that other canadians should be expected to pay?

    They've been living here for years, contributing to our communities and paying taxes while not receiving the benefits of citizenship. Then they've had to study for and take a test, and swear and oath to a foreign monarch that natural born citizens have never been subjected to.

    Giving them a park pass they're probably not going to use isn't hurting you any.
