Bumpy, most of us Canadians realize that our 'free' medical care has never been free (but I digress!).
What we don't know is how the taxation has always been treated, i.e. Is this a sudden change or has there been some dialogue in the background that we are not aware of.

As campgrounds in Canada are a typical 5-month business at best, I'm guessing there is not a ton of margin in their financial structure.
