| So, I can't help but notice the swastikas plastered all over the city. I'm going to hope they aren't actually a sign of nazism, rather, they are being used to mean "well-being" or "good", in Sanskrit, what the symbol meant when it was created, many, many years prior to the nazi movement. Does anyone know for sure, though? Or, what the swastikas do signify here on a street sign? A Buddhist space, I assume? But, again, I'm assuming, so, anyone out there who knows more about this, chime in! |
I'm pretty sure a lot of them are simply women's hockey fans; in particular the Edmonton Swastikas:
