Anyone heard any more about the proposed law that would make it an offence to wagon-up park 12 feet from another RV dry camped on a boondocking permitted area of 3.7 square miles, unless said first RV...

Oh well, that's more travelling dollars that their local surrounding businesses will lose out on from us for one.
We absolutely detest any companies/governments/businesses that have a two tier them and us rate. We monitor our spending and ironically, albeit a state of mind at the time, we've proved we spend more money in places that offer free or what we deem as reasonable rates, and treat us well feeling we are truly appreciated and welcomed as tourists/travellers.
Hubby loves fishing, and when we look at the rates for resident versus non-residents for licenses, we just don't support it if there's a huge anomaly between the two rates. Spoke to another BC Canadian who snowbirds and says because of that he waits till he's back in BC to fish only there.
We are in the process of disposing of most of our non-revenue generating real estate because of how crazy the taxation rates are. In 2008/9 Fla was begging for our Canadian dollars to buy real estate, now we are paying almost triple in property taxes what our "homesteader" neighbours are.
Obviously they don't want us to support businesses down there any more, so our travels will be diverted elsewhere as soon as it is sold. Probably selling to someone from Ohio, that will change their domicile to pay less, albeit they spend more time of the year at their Ohio home. Unfortunately an option we don't have being Canadian.
Oh well......... we all pay our money and make our choices. Our Provincial Parks have got so expensive to stay at now, we don't camp in any of them any more, and our allocation has gone from several hundred dollars a year to zero going to them.
Guess they feel that younger adolescents growing up with it will know no difference so at the end of the day they'll win out.
Tis wot Tis. :(
