I really hate “bashing” Fernie because it was a town I grew up in and was proud of…. but as I grew up the town in general took many turns for the worse… I guess when you come back and see so many changes ( most from my perspective happen to be negative).. you get upset…. I understand that life has changes and that we have our ups and downs, I feel that Fernie has changed negatively, and will never have the same spunk that it once used to have. There are postive changes to Fernie over the years such as the ski hill…… but again I have to defend the small business man… I hope that people will not be sold out by big business likes of Canadian Tire. Support the local businesses that have been there the longest. I’m quite bitter about the FGCC and many other…. Do I dare say BAD changes…. It is up to the people of Fernie to decide if the changes are good or bad… Obviously my opinion stands. I respect everyones opinions and I apologize if my opinions and comments have offended anyone.

We live in a country where freedom of speech is a right, my comments and feelings are valued by many, others not so. We need to put money #2 and our kids and youth #1…
