Read the Canmore pages on FB. People crap bricks daily about anyone from Calgary coming out. Not just a COVID thing though, they're always crapping bricks about "out of towners", it's just a bit more brick crapping than usual. The ToC/mayor have had to regularly ask Canmore-ites (Canmorons?) to refrain from verbally accosting anyone they think is not from Canmore & there have been accounts of vehicle vandaliam, especially to out of prov/out of country plates. I have read on those pages, of people recently moved there to work, having to tape stuff to their cars saying they're recent transplants, they live there, please don't damage the vehicle, they're getting things changed over. Very entitled bunch without COVID, always bitching about every little thing, online. I mean, it's truly ridiculous - "that person doesn't live in Canmore because they eat apples" or "that person can't possibly live in Canmore because they're walking with a backpack, people who actually live here wouldn't be caught dead walking around with a backpack" - how would you know?
