There's no fault here, imo...the person that put up the sign probably wasn't thinking about events in Winnipeg. But that doesn't change the fact that someone was killed and thrown away like trash. This sign pokes fun (albeit unintentionally) at a very real and raw situation. It's fair to ask them to remove the sign, so as not to put the families of these missing women through more pain.

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.

I'm with you on this. Almost all jokes re: Halloween are in poor taste so I'm not sure why this one is off limits suddenly after years of indifference.

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.

Know your enemies? I kind of agree with you, but this was not a matter of police action or government orders, as I understand it the company itself decided it wasn't funny. I think I have a right to put funny signs in my yard, but if a neighbor asked me to take it down I wouldn't think they were overstepping either, what's appropriate is supposed to be negotiated between people.
