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?  |
I guess I should have said that with COVID people are unusually fearful and resentful of people coming from other places, and that after COVID things will return to a more usual level of fear and resentment. Same as I hope will happen with the spike that's been seen in racism since COVID that we may see revert to normal levels of racism after COVID.
