The Winnipeg Police Service major crimes unit is investigating offensive and hateful posters displayed at a Winnipeg home. Neighbour Gracie Garrett, who has lived in the area for ten years, feels uneasy and unsafe due to the five signs plastered on a nearby house. The posters contain slurs, refer to Nazis as "heroes," and call various religious groups "evil."

Gracie, 36, plans to report the posters to the police, as she believes they incite and promote violence. B’Nai Brith, a prominent Jewish Human Rights group in Canada, also deems the signs as hate speech and calls for police investigation. The homeowner, who did not want to provide his name, defended his actions, claiming it is freedom of speech.
