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.

I know people involved with the Grizzly Paw Brewery. As of a few years ago (but probably still today) there are lots of old locals who don’t consider them authentic members of the community. But Tbf the Paw has only been around since like 1996.

Now I’m sure that’s a bit hyperbolic, but the Us vs Them mentality in Canmore is definitely a thing. A weird and gross thing (true of most tourist towns Tbf)
