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.

It's also a landfill on Vancouver island, and I'm from BC as well where I have hardly ever heard of these Manitoba landfill bodies. It easily could have been done in complete ignorance.
