Well, I know where I'll not be adding my filthy fuel-burning presence this summer.

The entire facility relies on everything being shipped to it, they are self-sufficient for pretty much nothing save for the scenery. The reason that Whistler was built at all was strictly for leisure activities, being that the leisure activities they provide are very carbon intensive I propose that Whistler be closed, the buildings razed, the land restored, the road to it torn up & covered with boulders dynamited from the mountainsides and the place unincorporated as a political entity. Whistler is an entirely unnecessary blight on the environment. That plus it has a murderous luge track, that thing is as dangerous as an unregistered handgun!
Exactly. Agree. Bang on!!!
No carbon means no Whistler
No Whistler means no mayor of Whistler
No carbon means no Jack Crompton as mayor.
Maybe they should switch the gondola cables to "hemp"rope lol.

I've been boycotting BC for a couple of years already. Used to head to Halcyon Hot Springs and Kelowna area, but no more. Now that the Liebrals are out of Ontario, another location to visit.

Maybe Whistler should stop dumping their sewage into the Cheakamus River.

I think that right answer, whether for Whistler or Vancouver, is for the oil cos to stop selling their product there. My thought on Trans Mountain was exactly that, perhaps Alberta should have stopped sending them refined products if they really don't like oil.

Don't laugh. I just read the SNOWFLAKES in Victoria and Vancouver have jumped on the same bandwagon!! Very sad.
