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.

Know your enemies?

Certainly that, but also I'm in favor of erring in the side of letting people make their own decisions and mistakes, as long as they don't affect others excessively. It's not black and white, we all have different ideas of where to draw the line.

what’s appropriate is supposed to be negotiated between people

Completely agreed. I'm just sharing my opinion, which is not any more valuable than any other.

Your opinion is fair. Mine is that because as far as I can tell the government wasn't involved, I support this action. It just seems like the kinder thing to do, to me.
