We have a new rental house across the road. The neighbours have decided to put up a no trespassing sign and an F*CK Trudeau flag. Our neighbourhood has always been a mix of different political backgrounds but everyone is lovely and respectful. Seems as though someone close by called the police about the flag. It wasn’t us although we have the same feelings about it. The flag is offensive but we decided to educate our child about why the display of signs like this are hateful rather than uplifting and supportive. Since the police showed up we heard them loudly exclaim “someone has too much time in their hands”. I’m guessing it was directed at us as we have a pride flag in our front window. Shortly after that the Trudeau flag showed up. How can one approach this? We’re all for free speech. But why act like a trash human to get your opinion across?

Rant over.

    Just ignore it.

    Bill Engvall has a classic bit about how stupid people should wear signs so everyone knows not to pay them any mind. We’ll guess what? Now they do! Your neighbours are idiots and proudly displaying their sign so that everyone knows they should be ignored!

      Great point. This is absolutely a sign to not do business with them (They have a renovation company). I guess we can let it sit as is and let them dig their own hole.
