The only way year round folks get displaced is that somebody decides to sell their place to another person from the City, pretty sure not with a gun to their heads.
I wonder if you have taken into consideration the amount of $$$$ the so called citiots pump into the local economy and provide jobs for the locals. Tax money into the schools and other municipal services.
I am happy for you that you still have a nice peaceful place to hunt and fish but surprised you would want to deny a fellow Canadian the same rights to enjoy their place.
You will probably complain a lot more when the Ontario Government figures out a system to charge folks for the use of Crown Land and brings in a pay as you go permit system. LOL
