Maxed Out

Let's see if we can wrap this up this week. Triple-One's proposed rezoning and private development of employee-restricted housing on Garibaldi Way is a deal the RMOW should turn down. Period. No tinkering with density.

Let us wade, once again in this new year, into the rezoning proposal that would see the development of 74 employee-restricted apartments — albeit more accurately referred to as employer-restricted, since they'll be rented to local businesses &m

RZ1144. Sounds so benign, doesn't it? It's one of many rezoning applications presented to and considered by the RMOW in 2017. In the case of RZ1144, though, benign is far from an accurate description.

Ho, Ho, Ho. What a remarkable year it's been.

All the people in Whistler liked Winter a lot. But the Drumpf living south of the border did not! Old Drumpf hated Winter! The whole Winter season! Now don't ask him why. To question him's treason! It could be his heart's just not in the right place.

I'm never sure how it happens but it happens every year.

It was the best of times; it was, well, let's just stick with the best of times.

I divorce you. I divorce you. I divorce you. Contrary to popular belief, that won't actually do the trick under Sharia law. But beliefs don't become popular just because they're right.

On the cusp of the greatest American invasion of Canada since the War of 1812 — which, by the way, the U.S. lost, just so there's no misunderstanding — Whistler is ready to welcome weary visitors from south of the border.

Failure is the price of success. No one succeeds all the time and no one succeeds without failing occasionally along the way. The best we can hope for is we learn from our failures.
