Halloween display depicts municipal politicians hanging from noose in Manitoba
The display targeted local officials in Taché, Manitoba, and sparked an RCMP investigation after two complaints, with authorities urging respect in political expression.
- On Nov. 2, 2025, municipal officials flagged a yard display in Ste-Geneviève featuring five nearly life-sized figures hung from a noose with a yellow-and-white sign reading `Politics All Tricks No Treats` in the Rural Municipality of Taché, Manitoba.
- Rising online hostility has contributed to intimidation of officials, with neon-green karma signs on five figures and Ivan Normandeau saying social media worsens threats.
- Photographs and video show four figures with ward numbers, a crown and dollar-sign necklace, and a firefighter with a `For Sale` sign; the homeowner called it a `limited display` for Halloween.
- Police confirmed Steinbach RCMP received two complaints and launched an investigation, while the Rural Municipality of Taché council met Saturday and will release more information Monday.
- Local organizations are now working to improve safety as the Association of Manitoba Bilingual Municipalities partners with the Association of Manitoba Municipalities; Premier Wab Kinew urged civil expression, warning intimidation may deter candidates.
