A Kelowna woman who travelled to Calgary for work-related business was surprised after finding a harsh note and a cracked egg on her vehicle.
Angela Price-Stephens is a lawyer at Pushor Mitchell who represents extremely vulnerable clients. On July 16, she made the decision to drive to Calgary to see an immunocompromised client.
"For me it was knowing how compromised my client is," she says. "I just couldn't bring myself to go through two international airports and hope I'm not bringing anything into her home."
Price-Stephens usually does not travel to see clients, however, the visit was essential for her client's case in order to prepare her client for the litigation against their former doctors who had provided negligent care.
"I have kept my social circle pretty tight since the province has started to open up," she says. "I am very mindful of the fact that how I choose to behave can affect others around me and they may have a higher risk profile. It’s ironic that my decision to drive to see my client drew more attention than had I arrived by plane and taken a taxi."
The note left on the windshield told Price-Stephens to go home back to B.C.
"Some of it, I won't repeat, but it was very clear that this was because I had a B.C. license plate in a residential area of Calgary," she says.
The egg that was cracked on the windshield had run down the window and because it was so warm, Price-Stephens "came back to basically a fried egg."
She immediately took the note off of her car and drove a couple blocks where she then scraped the fried egg off of her windshield with her credit card.
While no damage was done to the vehicle, Price-Stephens hopes that whoever did it will think twice about why a driver from another province might be there.
"Next time I’ll remember to bring my spatula," she says.
