As a new resident to Whistler and a person who spends months every year in the U.S., I am trying to understand the objective of Leslie Anthony’s “Absurdity 2.0?” article. Something in the order of a million Americans visit Whistler every year, patronizing local businesses and enriching our community. And Mr. Anthony seeks to deeply insult one-half of them? And those who do not take offence to his vitriol likely think that he is a ravenous idiot. How does either of these outcomes bolster Whistler’s reputation?
