I was born here and have lived here for my whole life. Liberal, I wonder how long you’ve lived here? maybe you hang around with those crowds and that is therefore your only impression of Fernie? Drugs are in any town, if you choose to find them. Ferne is a great town and I do admit that it has become very much a tourist attraction, maybe a bit more than some of us would have wanted. I also agree that it is unfortunate that there are so many empty houses that people can afford to own and use 1-2x/year. Fernie is a great place, however, and I wouldn’t leave it for anything.
