They are deplorable, period, as are the other resource extractors lined up to bugger the earth for their selfish profits.
When will governments begin working for people as a whole rather than their financial supporters, who just happen to be big businesses like BP?

adminKeymasterCanine dominance aggression towards children by roaming and stray dogs is an issue .
Each year several children are bitten in Fernie and receive stitching, some will have facial scars for life.
This dominance aggression behavior happens most often with children under 18 as they are an easy target.
Scotsman, is this worth moaning about?
idoasiwant, are you condescending towards mothers who sew?
Roaming and stray dogs are a serious issue with dire consequences.
CS86’s desire to have owners controlling their dogs is socially responsible even though his tactics may be annoying.
Overall some of your opinions do raise concerns.
adminKeymastermtnrat – would catastrophic de-growth be more acceptable than sustainable de-growth?
Our society is conditioned to believe that growth is necessary for survival. This is not true.
Most 1st world populations are in decline and the worlds population will peak in the next 40 years.
With shrinking populations de-growth is inevitable. we must change the negative perception of LESS and move forward to sustainable de-growth.
Lets avoid the catastrophy and plan accordingly.

adminKeymasterSki resort resident populations are dwindling everywhere, and the economic slow down has clinched the pocket books of 2nd home owners. How can you blame the City of Fernie for the impact of larger forces?
My understanding is that winter business was slow due to the poor snow season. Hotel bookings were down 40% and that directly hurt many businesses. How does the City of Fernie factor into a poor snow year?
Your trap is condemning the City of Fernie.
Others are trapped in condemning Fernie Alpine Resort. Are they not responsible?
We live in a culture of condemning when we should be working together to make our town a better place. Accepting de-growth and planning for reality will generate harmony.
adminKeymasterDemographics is working against Fernie as a option for recreation. The over 50 don’t play, they sit and watch the weather change.
And the resourse that youth require is people, not coal or gas. Rocket scientists desire neighbours who are rocket scientists, etc..
Skiers are a diminishing group.
Time will tell where people move my friend…

adminKeymasterSmall communities worldwide are asking that question, the answer is urbanization.
The other factor to consider is that growth is not sustainable. Both population and economic growth will slow and governments of all sizes will have to learn to effectively govern given de-growth.
I am not promoting de-growth, rather am highlighting its existence and the necessity to plan accordingly.
adminKeymasterSustainable de-growth is planning for the future given that there will be less people and a smaller local economy.
What is sustainable in a small mountain town? Tourism, mining, forestry, farming, manufacturing, building, outfitting, services, etc.
The question is tabled for discussion…

adminKeymasterThe mines are growing, 400 new jobs just this spring.
New families are springing up everywhere and the economic slow-down has created affordable housing opportunities for them!

adminKeymasterMikes, why do you define beer belly’s as being "bad"?
Beer Belly’s are a symbol of success, security, comfort, prosperity and power! Take notice of our councilors, directors, resort managers, accountants, lawyers, developers, etc… who boastfully don beer belly’s.
May they and many others thrive with our new HST tax!!
