Tensions are high as British Columbians have been cooped up for nearly three months in self-isolation while we all watched our 91裸聊视频渘ormal91裸聊视频� disintegrate. But it wasn91裸聊视频檛 so bad, because 91裸聊视频渨e are all in this together.91裸聊视频�
Or at least that91裸聊视频檚 what was being said when this all started.
Now, the tune has changed for some.
As the province has embarked on its Restart Plan to reopen and ease restrictions, our leaders have made clear that non-essential travel should still be avoided. And as of late, it appears a few British Columbians have taken that message to heart.
So much so, they took it upon themselves to leave notes on cars with plates that didn91裸聊视频檛 match theirs.
In one case, a vehicle in Revelstoke was keyed as a result of its red plates.
The culprit was kind enough to leave a note telling him to 91裸聊视频淔**k off back to Alberta,91裸聊视频� but the writer was cowardly enough to avoid leaving their contact info.
As a B.C. newcomer 91裸聊视频� albeit, that excuse is getting stale 91裸聊视频� I still have red plates.
When I first arrived to the province, I found myself in Kelowna. Never before have I been honked at so much or followed so closely.
I was warned this may happen as there is an unspoken rivalry between the two provinces 91裸聊视频� similar in feeling to that between the Flames and the Oilers. Instead, I chalked it up more so to the fact I was new to the area and was probably taking my sweet time navigating.
When I was relocated to Vernon, I quickly realized that perhaps Kelowna drivers were just crazy.
Just kidding91裸聊视频ut I haven91裸聊视频檛 been honked at once since moving to Vernon, though. Interesting fact for comparison.
As the pandemic began closing businesses to the public, including insurance companies, and my red-plate expiry date loomed, I had to act quick.
But now, my provincial patriotism lies in the hands of Canada Post.
Luckily for me, since COVID-related incidents like the one in Revelstoke have been recorded, I have yet to experience anything like this personally, nor have I witnessed anything like this in Vernon.
Hopefully we can keep it that way.
Perhaps we can remember 91裸聊视频渨e are all in this together.91裸聊视频� Still, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues we should keep our fear-driven emotions at bay and off of other people91裸聊视频檚 windshields.
Amid these unprecedented times 91裸聊视频� boy, aren91裸聊视频檛 we tired of that phrase yet 91裸聊视频� we need to remember we don91裸聊视频檛 know anyone else91裸聊视频檚 full story, nor is it any of our business. We are incapable of fully understanding how our neighbours next door, literally and figuratively, are handling this crisis on a personal level.
So when you see that red, green or royal Ontario blue come through, remember, this could be someone coming to say their final goodbyes to a grandparent or loved one, or heading out to a remote job site benefiting the B.C. economy.
What may be essential travel for you may not match your neighbour91裸聊视频檚 definition, but you can rest assured every single Canadian wants COVID gone so we can resume our 91裸聊视频渘ormal91裸聊视频� lives.
