That's great, but we need more national parks.

He's going to make 10 more.

And 15 new urban parks (I think right now we have just one)

Great news, I love our parks and look forward to some new ones!

I'd like to see free camping for anyone not visiting a National or Provincial park by car. Incentivize cycle touring :)

And portage!

Very minor feel-good pledge. Makes me wonder how much it'll actually cost the government, though I suppose it's probably very little.

Makes a great sound byte, though I wonder how many people will actually take up their offer. I think if they add some tourism features like more busses and tour guides, along with some nature-related activities, we could get some serious traffic to these parks. Though admittedly I'd then worry about the negative impacts so many people would have towards these parks.
