it's weird people don't get why members of the community are upset to see the reasons they moved to Canmore in the first place get destroyed, and not because the residents voted for it. They have little choice.

To your point though, it was bleak for years after the mine closed and only when it became a tourist destination did the economy pick up. Its weird, this sounds similar to Bowen island. "Welcome to Bowen Island — don't forget to leave"
