Thanks for the explanation, now I know even more regarding the context of Alberta and now Toronto. I double-checked the post to make sure I recalled it correctly, and yeah, the poster said “Alberta”. Again, I’m not Canadian so I had no idea how true that statement is. Maybe it was made because of that poster’s impressions of Alberta or because Kurt is from Alberta and the story seemed quite unusual and I assume it doesn’t happen often in that part of Toronto…not saying it happens often in Alberta either.Sorry, I should have been more clear. Alberta is a very conservative province, dependent on oil/tar sands for its economy, and seems to be the cradle of civilization for Canada's Q-Anon population.
Albertans aren't dumb, en masse. (Though some days give me pause)
Which is impressive considering it happened in Forrest Hill, a VERY rich neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario. It certainly felt a very Toronto thing.
My understanding is he rested the leaf blower on his expensive car right after using it, and that's what caught fire. I'm sure many in Alberta would know better. My family in Northern Ontario certainly thought it was stupid.
