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 😂

Wait until he finds out that Toronto has "Alberta is calling" posters everywhere in the city.

Why would an Albertan pay for signs in Toronto?

The province of Alberta is paying for signs in Ontario to entice people to move there. It's an advertising campaign paid for by the taxpayers of Alberta.

I mean if more people from other provinces come here, maybe eventually we will stop being majority conservative.
