I have been privileged to be reporting on Tumbler Ridge for more than a decade.
I wanted to provide a little more context for why it is so incredibly unique and why the word "resilient" keeps popping up when people talk about it

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).
