Breath of employment opportunities????????????????????????? Same number of opportunities? Definitely not. Cook, chambermaid, labourer, ski instructor- very likely, brain surgeons - not so many.
BTW, Don't get me wrong, I love Fernie and that whole route along the south. It's just that ... I love Vancouver, too.


I would love to sell my house in Oakville and move to Annapolis, Nova Scotia but I have to feed a family.


Apples and Oranges.

Okay. So Fernie offers the same breadth of employment opportunities as Vancouver, does it? Money is everything is it?
?

I'm really not very interested in impressing any of you. I post here for entertainment.
FAIL!

I am impressed by your unimpressiveness.

So lets get this straight. They are going to complete 4 lane everywhere else on 1 except where the antiques are because they can't? Why bother running a 4 lane at all from either direction just to keep it bottlenecked? They can build 4 lane through kicking horse canyon but not in Rogers because?

It will be good to see the whole thing four laned from Revelstoke to Golden, many terrible accidents there. There has also been very little done between Kamloops and Revelstoke. Hoffman Bluffs is one of the worst sections just west of Chase.
