@TourismFernie 7 жыл бұрын

There a work to be found in town and at the resort. Again, best to do a little research. Summer time is fantastic for hiking, mountain biking, fishing, camping, golfing, swimming, nearly too much to name. As a photographer, Fernie, and the whole of British Columbia is a stunning place to shoot. So much wildlife, stunning mountain scenery, and lakes to be discovered. Driving across BC would be a mission in itself, let alone the whole of Canada. It's just a question of how much time you have, and how much you want to absorb in each place.

So I'm Mexican-Muslim-American. Since that puts me on the most least wanted list in America right now, does Trump maybe have some deal where I could trade my American citizenship to become a citizen of Fernie? I could teach Spanish there and Sharia law. I could help get all the ladies skiing in burkas. (The blonde girl in the film definitely needs some covering.) I'm also good at things Mexicans are good at, like finding awesome pow pow stashes, long after storms. What do you say, Fernie?

Whilst we can't give any advice on trading citizenship (that'll be a question for the embassies, and immigration offices), Fernie is always open to ANYBODY who loves finding awesome powder stashes!!
