Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / August 2005Wally-Docking in Canada??
We are planning to go north into Saskatchewan, Canada and then west to British Columbia in August. Can anyone advise re Wal-Mart's and Canada's policies about parking in their lots overnight there? Are there other such open lot policies in Canada? Or does Canada have their usual restrictive laws extending even to Sam's invitation to stay at his place? Any knowledgeable advice most appreciated.

The only difference in Canada VS the Excited States is that a lot of Wal-Marts here are attached to a mall and sometimes the mall tries to stop it. Wal-Marts have started to move out of the malls and build their own stores. You see a lot of WallyDockers every night at the one by our place in Calgary, Alberta. Just look around for other people before you settle in for the night BTW - We really do not appreciate your slam about restrictive laws. > We are planning to go north into Saskatchewan, Canada and then west to > British Columbia in August.

I don't know anything about Canada's "usual restrictive laws"; but you can overnight at *any* Wal-Mart in Canada, with the exception of Nova Scotia. The Government of Nova Scotia and the Nova Scotia Campground Owners Association have pushed through laws prohibiting parking of a recreational vehicle at night, *anywhere* other than in a licenced commercial campground. While the Wal-Mart in Victoria, BC has a 3 hour parking limit posted, they won't kick RVers out; but their lot is so small and cramped, you probably wouldn't want take an RV in there anyway. Lots of parking available at the cruise ship docks though. Alberta and British Columbia have more free dump stations than any other area in North America. If you intend to extend your trip to Alaska, virtually every shopping mall in the entire state is posted "No Overnight RV Parking", including every Wal-Mart. > Are there other such open lot policies in Canada? Or does Canada > have their usual restrictive laws extending even to Sam's invitation > to stay at his place Where and what USUAL RESTRICTIVE LAWS? Compared to what? I really don't think you'd be welcome in Canada, home to some of the most friendly people on earth. Tom J who has RV'd in every Province & never encountered "usual restrictive laws" I just spent some time in western Canada, B.C, AB, SK, and MB. Its pretty much the same as in the lower 48. Only saw one Wallys with a sign prohibiting it. It was a weird sign too, had to read it a couple of times to figure out what it as saying. Starting out by saying no cars for sale and later referenced no over night parking. bill > We are planning to go north into Saskatchewan, Canada and then west to > British Columbia in August.

Starting out by saying no cars for sale >and later referenced no over night parking. That entire scenario has nothing whatsoever to do with overnight parking for RVs. On more than one occasion, we've inquired as to whether the "No Overnight Parking" sign applied to RVs; and each and every time, we've been welcomed with unexpected enthusiasm! So . . when in doubt ask. As for the "No Cars for Sale" thing; this is more of a USA small-town south-west community phenomena; where the community utilizes a continuous row or two of Wal-Mart parking space as some sort of consignment used car lot, not to mention the boats-on-trailers crowd! Wonder what ever happened to the original poster, Fishmonger; and his gratuitous acidic missiles directed at the "usual restrictive laws" Canadian Laws. When asked to expand, he never responded. While none of us on this NG have ever before heard of fishmonger, I would be inclined to believe that his disenchantment with "usual [Canadian] restrictive laws" might very well present a threat to his passion for child pornography and all that sort of stuff.

Perhaps the hair on your palms and the blindness from your favorite pastime caused the error? I've never been to Canada, never known much about Canadian law, but used the hated phrase because of what I have read on the 'net about gun confiscation, lack of medical choice, forbidden speech, the arrangement between government and RV parks in Nova Scotia, etc, etc, in Canada. If those laws are not restrictive, what would you possibly call them? Those are not issues I've ever dealt with here in the USA. So with those restrictions getting the publicity they have, it doesn't seem so far fetched to ask about other restrictive laws. I'd hazard a guess that the $3.50+ per gallon gas is due to much higher taxation there, but I'm not sure of that. If so, I'd consider such taxation restrictive, too. No, you've never heard of FishMonger. That's true. Perhaps he does enjoy little kids. But FishWisher doesn't do kids. And if you ever made make such a stupid comment to me in person, and I doubt that you would, you'd say it only once. You are the typical internet blowhard, Stan, and I sure hope you don't represent the general populace of Canada.

But hey, if I visit, I'll have a lot better take on how things are up there in Canada. So far, there seems to be an awful lot of very touchy folks. Enough of this petty bickering.

OTOH you are possibly one of the most ignorant posters from south of the border, considering you are from California that has more restrictive, goofy and moronic laws per sq. mile the any other jurisdiction anywhere in North America incl. Mexico. When you site this restrictions you must be thinking of the US, we can go to any medical provider we choose, and all decisions are made by the attending Physician for my care. How would that compare to your plan, where you must go to certain providers or selected facilities or you could be liable for part of the cost, and wait for some pimple faced kid to give approval for your care. You might also like to examine your own backyard where most of Florida is off limits as well as many in So. California for no overnight parking. And I just know what you have been waiting for, about the guns, name one sovereign country that would let foreigners enter with guns. Wade >When you site this restrictions you must be thinking of the US, we can go to >any medical provider we choose, and all decisions are made by the attending >Physician for my care. How would that compare to your plan, where you must >go to certain providers or selected facilities or you could be liable for >part of the cost, and wait for some pimple faced kid to give approval for >your care? Don't know why you have such an ill-considered opinion of health care here, but I'm typical of my generation, and can go to any doctor or medical facility anywhere in the country, get any procedure needed from clipped toenails to open heart surgery, and pay absolutely nothing. And unlike Canada, I don't get placed on a long waiting list for what are considered to be common procedures in this country. You might also like to examine your own backyard where most of >Florida is off limits as well as many in So. California for no overnight >parking. About forty years ago I lived in the Florida Keys, which was infested with campers and RVs setting up anywhere they pleased, using bushes for bathrooms, and leaving garbage everywhere. The overwhelming majority had Canadian license plates. It got so bad, public complaints forced the county commissioners to pass no overnighting outside of campground regulations. The anti-overnighting regulations throughout South Florida are based on the same response to unfettered camping by RVs. Can you imagine what the WM lots would look like without these ordinances? There wouldn't be room enough left for store customers to park. Southern California, where I am now, is crowded to the max, but has dozens of campgrounds and space is always available somewhere. If unregulated parking was allowed, the streets would be jammed with tourists of the same caliber as I once saw in the Keys. While Canadians have a reputation for extreme thriftiness ( did I say cheap? ), we have the same type of RVers here, planning their driving days from the WM they're at to the next WM or other free camping spot along the way. That's fine, if that's how their minds work but there is no godgiven right to park feel wherever you like. And I just know what you have been waiting for, about the guns, >name one sovereign country that would let foreigners enter with guns. >Wade For gun discussions, contact Bill Horne: you might not learn anything new, but you'll get an up close and personal view of a gun enthusiast at work. Canoli That's fine, if that's how their minds work but there >is no godgiven right to park feel wherever you like. To park "free" obviously. That second glass of wine gets me every time. Canoli "Southern California, where I am now, is crowded to the max" I don't know about that. There are still open spaces. Maybe not in Compton or Reseda but once you get out into Hesperia, Apple Valley, Mentone, etc it's till wide open. I mean for crying out loud, there's empty dessert all the way from Victorville to Stateline. "there is no godgiven right to park feel wherever you like" I disagree. Every where is god given right place to set up camp unless it's outlawed. (I could have sniped off the rest of the rant below, but chose to live it for the nitwits bandwidth Nazis surfing the web/newsgroup from there pathetic cellphones). >>When you site this restrictions you must be thinking of the US, we can go >>to [quoted text clipped - 48 lines] > > Canoli >>When you site this restrictions you must be thinking of the US, we can go >>to [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Canoli I think it is wonderful that you have that kind of coverage, and so you should, OTOH there are millions that have no coverage, many times because of job losses or other economic circumstances; will they get on any waiting lists? Now myself I would sooner have to wait for non-emergency care and be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel as opposed to never seeing the light. OTOH, I can assure you that when my wife was in need of care see was admitted to the hospital in the afternoon and on the operating table first thing in the morning, and I do know that somebody with his ingrown toenail most likely was placed on hold. And as for firearms we both are seasoned travelers, and are well aware of other country's no tolerance policies without having to consult Bill Horne, come to think of, you don't have to go abroad for that just go to places like Detroit, New York or Massachusetts and most likely 1000's more. In addition, as for being down on your system lets just say it would not be my first choice. OTOh, I also recall Bob Giddings requiring surgery and intensive care, and I do not recall him having to wait at all in spite that as none citizen he would had to wait if the operating room was fully booked in favor of patients that are covered under the health plan. Wade Laws per square mile? Huh? What the hell has California law got to do with my questions about Canadian restrictions? Sheesh. I mention one time about Canadian restrictions and the moaning and bitching hasn't stopped since. You folks really do protest too much! Now if you'd like to make the charge that the US (and especially California) has a lot of restrictions, I'd readily agree. But even here in the nutty People's Republic of California I can own a gun, I don't depend on Big Brother for medical care and I am not required to park my RV in an RV park. And if, Lord forbid, I'm inclined to make a hate speech some day, I won't wind up in jail for it. Why don't you and Stanley take some time off and go fishing together? You both need to unwind a bit. Relax, buy a six-pack, find a bit of shade on the riverbank and breath deeply a few times. Ahhhhhh. That's better, eh?

The USA Patriot Act (decidedly un-patriotic) will probably change your mind about that statement. And why, for heaven's sake, would she (the lord) even care about what you say? KH Kenneth responds: What a benefit! Many people (subconsciously) think that ownership of a gun is a suitable substitute for an adequate sex life. At least the barrel is hard! Ken, try to stay on topic here. I'm an American. I can own a gun. You're a Canadian.You can't. You're doing your best to make excuses. There is no excuse for giving up the inalienable right to defend yourself, your family and your property. Nor is there any excuse for your government to take that right. Period. You don't know diddly about my sex life, nor does my sex life have anything to do with owning a gun. Really. Now, can't you do better'n that? You really reached for that one, didn't you? Kenneth responds some more: You can, of course, park wherever you like. WHERE you park is most likely a testament to your taste respecting the quality of life. Where I park is the issue, Ken. It doesn't matter that my choices may or may not win your approval. As restricted and over-regulated as I am here in California, I still have choices that some of you Canadians no longer have. And, Ken, you are not dealing well with that fact. And more sputtering from Kenneth: The USA Patriot Act (decidedly un-patriotic) will probably change your mind about that statement. And why, for heaven's sake, would she (the lord) even care about what you say? Dear Kenneth, You just refuse to stay on topic! The issue isn't the Patriot Act. It is the fact that you have restrictions in Canada on speech that I don't have even in California - the Patriot Act notwithstanding. Nor is the issue whether anyone would listen to what I might have to say. The issue is that I have the freedom to make that speech even here in goofy, star-crossed California. In Canada you have lost that freedom. I can freely admit that California is getting too onerous with its regulations of how I live my life. So I'm trying to talk wifey into moving to Texas or some other southern state where freedom isn't so restricted. But wifey doesn't want to move. Yet. Where can you move in Canada to find more freedom? I don't think Texas quite reaches Canada. I suggest that you Canadians defend your freedoms with the same vigor that you defend losing those freedoms!

Period. == Hi Dale, You probably don't realize that Canadians don't consider that being able to own a handgun is a freedom. If I lived in the States I would have a gun also. I would need one to defend myself from all the people who walk around armed to the teeth as if they were living in the 1800's. All countries sacrifice some freedoms in order to be a civilized community. You mentioned Canadian anti hate laws. Do you think it is a good thing that in the States anyone can preach hatred? I can stand up and say I think our government is bad, and have no problem. But I can't preach hatred. I have not lost my freedom to talk because of that. Even you Dale in the US have to deal with hundreds of things in daily life that restrict your freedom. Licenses, permits, taxes, speed limits etc, etc. You are considered mature and intelligent enough to carry around a loaded weapon that can kill in a second. But! you can't make a decision on how fast you may drive or how much booze you may drink or where you may park. Sounds ridiculous Right? People in glass houses? Geoff. >Hi Dale, You probably don't realize that Canadians don't consider that being >able to own a handgun is a freedom. If I lived in the States I would have a >gun also.

Don't you ever worry though that so many are armed? Geoff. > Good for you Hunter. Don't you ever worry though that so many are armed? > Geoff. I certainly do, and owning a gun wouldn't do anything to improve my chances. Years of studies and collection of statistics prove that family members are the most likely to be injured or killed when there is a gun in the house. Guns don't kill people. People with guns kill people (to paraphrase a ridiculous argument). KH >> Good for you Hunter. Don't you ever worry though that so many are armed? >> Geoff. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > KH Have you ever been in a life threatening situation? Steve > Have you ever been in a life threatening situation? So the advantage of having a gun is that instead of one person being in a life threatening situation, two are? Or maybe more if there are others in the area? Most killings using a gun (in the US) are the result of family arguments or kids getting hold of a gun. Family values? Not in my family!

A liberal is a conservative that hasn't been mugged or sodomized yet. And your point goes out the window when you won't have a discourse. We talk back and forth. But, if all that is involved is you speaking, and me listening, that is not discourse. It is like the time I didn't talk to my ex-wife for 17 months when we were married. She didn't like to be interrupted. Bye, bozo. Plonk. Steve Steve, Gun control (confiscation of handguns and confiscation of the inalienable right to self-defense) has been accepted and even embraced (it seems) in Kenneth's country (Denial). Ever since the dawning of this utopian wonder, everyone has gotten nicer. Nobody has to shoot rapists, robbers, murderers or home invaders because in this new Utopia everybody abides by the law. Hopefully. Or, in Kenneth's view, he'd rather die alone and let the bad guy walk than to shoot first. And he's entitled to that philosophy. So be it. Here in our country (Reality) we've learned the hard way that bad people learn to behave when they don't know who might be packing a gun. Barging into my RV in the middle of the night in California *might* get you shot. *Might* is a magic word that has influence with the bad guys. If I park my RV on the lot of a Canadian store, I *probably* won't be armed. But, of course, I won't have to be armed. Remember, people in the land of Denial are nicer. Obviously, Kenneth cannot understand the value of putting the bad guy and the good guy both in a life threatening situation instead of just the good guy. He'd rather be a dead good guy and not hurt the bad guy. Fortunately, his lack of understanding of the real world does not negate the value of a balanced threat. Instead, he will have the pleasure of quickly dialing 911 so that the cops can show up at the scene in about... oh, seven minutes... to count the bodies. Including, perhaps, his. And as foolish as that reasoning is, it is Kenneth's reasoning. And no amount of discussion is going to change it. So be it. God Bless Reality.

Idiot! When he walked back over the border to the US he walked by the US Customs guards, not the Canadian Customs people. When one re-enters the US, they go thru US Customs. The Canadians are not even set up in many border crossing points to monitor returning traffic to the US. So I seriously doubt your national slur of the Canadian guards would hold water. It just serves to show your ignorance.

Some people just want total domination. Usually, they are the ones who got beat up a lot in school, and deservedly so. The more simple of us think this is just like a realtime conversation where one can ask questions and discuss topics. Normal etiquette dominates. No special rules. Faux pauxs and breeches of etiquette tolerated, and quickly overlooked. Then there are the elitist snobs who think that you have to have a high dollar unit in order to even be recognized from the pulpit. Then there are the Googlists who think that no new news should come up, but that every questioner must go to Google, as that topic has been discussed already, and doing it again would just upset the balance of nature and alignment of the planets. No matter that Google will take up to 32 years to read all the related hits when you put in rv***. And that is with no food or bathroom breaks. Then there are the bloggers and trolls who are similar to mold and fungus. They just appear, and attach onto anything, and self propagate. They insinuate themselves into every conversation, and spoil what they touch. Then, the paranoid, neurotic and OCBers. They are the soapbox screechers who think if the world would just do it THEIR way things would be fine. So, you have a basic core of people who want to discuss the subject. Then, you have all the others who overthink this and have problems. And a few who think this is THEIRS, and participants must do it THEIR way. HTH. I've probably missed some things, but, if you like, we can discuss it.

OTOH hate speeches now there is one right that should be vigorously defended, could you just imagine a Klan meeting without hate speeches. Other then that you might want to leave your pointy sheets with the two holes at home, wonder if Wallymart stocks them in Canada.

While none of us on this NG have ever before heard of fishmonger, I would be inclined to believe that his disenchantment with "usual [Canadian] restrictive laws" might very well present a threat to his passion for child pornography and all that sort of stuff. Stan Birch Newmarket, Ontario Would you explain how you managed to poll the entire newsgroups usual posters to know that none of them ever heard of fishwisher? Stanley, You are about as ignorant as anyone I've ever come across on the 'net. You pick the most absurd nonsense out of thin air, pretend that it is substantive, then try to argue about it. I can imagine how many folks have you blocked, and I have just been added to what is probably a pretty long list.

We use camp Wally-Mart all the time in western Canada - can't think of one that has restrictions except Yorkton where they have barriers to prevent tall vehicles from entering. I think the intent is to keep trucks out but the effect is to keep us out as well. Most decent sized towns and all cities in western Canada have some kind of farm implement dealer. We often stay on their lots - no shortage of room there - we arrive after they are closed for the day and are gone before they open up so we don't bother them. They are guaranteed to have good access and lots of room to maneuvre. R.J.(Bob) Evans (return address needs alteration to work) |
