It's not about resistance to change, "anonymous", it's about resistance to change for no sake. This is just more of government pissing away your money for no good reason.Murrayhttp://explorenorth.com/wordpress/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21596698.post-65546155020972484592011-04-15T20:17:59.404-07:002011-04-15T20:17:59.404-07:00LOL Sarah!!!

And maybe then we could ditch the antiquated sternwheeler and the super-imaginative white horse.dogsled_staciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403769033505046018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21596698.post-67711532316060185742011-04-15T15:45:26.641-07:002011-04-15T15:45:26.641-07:00Not really buying it Michael.

Wild suggests frontier mentality and does not add the level of sophistication that Whitehorse and "THE" Yukon (another bone to pick there..I digress) desperately need. <br /><br />The thing about this branding exercise that bugs me is that is it once again more resistance to change. The world is changing, our demographic and ethnic make-up is changing...let's try to keep up. Don't get me wrong, I love the bush, wilderness and small town feel, but come on Whitehorse, we are bigger and more progressive than a paddlewheeler. The city has tried to do something to keep up to the times, (not get ahead of it relative to our competition...we are barely keeping up) and the flack they are getting is not right. I say keep the wilderness wild, but develop the crap out of the city (with reasonable greenspace, parks - infill is not the solution either!). I can't wait to develop the entire extent of the Downtown waterfront....build it up I say. <br /><br />So not a huge fan of "wild", or any of the others for that matter, but what is more important is that we pick something, get behind it, believe in it and it will be successful. It has to resonate with Yukoners but please lets just move on. We will always have the Gold Rush....but lets add something innovative to the mix.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21596698.post-71125622514328993942011-04-15T14:31:11.046-07:002011-04-15T14:31:11.046-07:00That makes me think of what happens at Bombay Pegg...That makes me think of what happens at Bombay Peggy's on a summer Saturday nightSarah Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867753448958627015noreply@blogger.com
