Vancouver Island landfill ordered to remove and destroy 'triggering' Halloween sign (bc.ctvnews.ca)

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.

If this was posted on a landfill in or near Winnipeg, I'd agree that it needs to come down and would be legitimately triggering.

In a completely different province... I don't see the issue.
