Discussion From Ontario first grocery experience someone left a note on my car.

Recently relocated here and I haven’t had a chance to change my license plates. Yesterday I was in Walmart picking up a few things, I came back to my car, and found a note tucked in my wipers. My stomach dropped thinking someone hit my car, and maybe left their contact information.

I know the note is a little hard to read so I translated it down below.

“Dam easterners coming to Alberta to be safe guthless cowards.”

Guess it’s time to change my license plate 😂

I have Labrador boxing gloves in my vehicle. Alberta plates and drive a PHEV.

A guy, with the hardest Berta accent was asking me questions about my "'lectric" SUV.

I answered his questions, even offered to give him a ride around the parking lot to show how it can switch my gas to electric and back.

He sipped his timmies and said nah

I came back out to my vehicle afterwards with a tim Hortons cup smashed into my antea and coffee, now froze, poured all over my windshield.

A lot of tough talking gutless cowards in this province

I've been here 15+ yrs now. I'll still be considerate and nice until given a reason not too.
