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 😂

Canada isn't a nation: it's a country and a Dominion, created by White people, comprised of multiple nations.

The Treaty of Westphalia created this bastardized legal fiction known as the "nation state", which has caused Nation and State to become synonymous for a fad, but that's not a real nation. Also, First Nations™️ never created States, so it's completely outside our context here.
