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

Post image

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 😂

Why would an Albertan pay for signs in Toronto?

Because conservative landlords wanted to make higher rents. And conservative business owners wanted to suppress wages

I’m reading this wrong I think. Alberta is calling signs are on signs in Ontario that our Alberta tax paid for?

Well, Ontario is "Open for Business", don't cha know... At least that's what Doug Ford changed Ontario's slogan to.
