The Whistler Answer was a periodical published in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, from 1977 until the mid-1990s.

The first edition had a cover price of 25 cents but was primarily supported through advertising revenues. The content of The Whistler Answer was mostly satire. The cover of the first edition had a photograph by George Benjamin of three naked canoeists and the headline "Missing On Alta Lake". Alta Lake was frozen over at the time and yet some readers believed the April Fool's headline and story.
The Whistler Answer was unique with its hand lettering or calligraphy, its irregular publication schedule and its "take all contributions" editorial policy with a lack of any clear commercial motive or goal.
The Whistler Answer followed a scattered publication schedule. Although initially attempting to publish every two months, readers had the impression that issues were timed around oddball occasions and events like equinoxes, full moons and World Cup Downhill races. 1981 saw the last issue of The Whistler Answer with the original crew.
The Whistler Answer was resurrected in 1992 in a much different Whistler . Real-estate development was rampant and the population had grown to several thousand. Although there was more business and more potential advertising revenue, the publication maintained its irreverent form.
Contributors over the years included Jim Monahan, Bob Eakins, Gary "Chico" Autio, Michael Leierer, Bob Colebrook, "Cosmic" Fred Flores and photographers Chris Speedie and Elwyn Rowlands.
In 2012 both runs of The Whistler Answer were digitized by the Whistler Museum with funding from the University of British Columbia's Irving K. Barber Learning Centre as part of their British Columbia History Digitization Program. All issues of The Whistler Answer were made available online in 2013.

Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is named after Ian Betteridge, a British technology journalist who wrote about it in 2009, although the principle is much older. It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not. The adage does not apply to questions that are more open-ended than strict yes–no questions.
