With only seven months to go before the 2010 Winter Olympics, Whistler's anti-Olympic sentiment was exposed in Gary Mason's exposé in last weekend's Globe and Mail article, Whistler's Olympic wipeout.

Mason's full-page article discusses the town's growing dissent and distrust of VANOC, the IOC and the local municipality. As a 10-year resident of Whistler, I felt the article was balanced and touched on the key issues, with the exception of the security entourage that will descend upon us and the erosion of civil liberties.
