Similar signs have graced landfills and residential front yards ahead of Halloween for decades.

But the dark joke no longer lands in light of the discovery of human remains in a Manitoba landfill last year, and the belief that other Indigenous women were similarly murdered and discarded near Winnipeg.

Even if it was done intentionally in bad taste, which I can't imagine it was, ordering its removal is going too far IMO. It's okay to have poor taste.

I'm queer and this summer we saw some people burning rainbow flags. I don't like what they did, but I wouldn't want it to be forbidden either.
