Gutless cowards."It's not entirely clear what the author of the message meant by "safe in Alberta." Perhaps they were briefly possessed by the ghost of Ralph Klein, given the tone toward eastern Canadians.From Ontario first grocery experience someone left a note on my car.byu/woundedrhyme1 inCalgaryCalgary commenters were quick to call out the note-leaver, many pointing out the irony of an anonymous note accusing someone else of being c...
