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.

Absolutely, a welcome package for a new Canadian is not something we as Canadians should be angered about.

You don't freak out when the new person that just joined your office you been working at got a new pen, and maybe a shinny new stapler?

What we really should be angered aboot, and ashamed of as Canadians, is that its actually cheeper for us to go on vacation to Europe for 2-3weeks instead of being able to visit parts of Canada. A train ride to Vancouver is just as expensive as a plane flight if not more, and if you want to go to any of the northern parts you will need a car. Not to mention the price of accommodations such as a hotel or airbnd.

There should be more trains that take you to national and maybe even provincial parks and surrounding towns.
