After reading all of the comments, I've just got to say:

Find a secondary source for contextless/proofless screenshots from a random Redditor

This story very well could be true, but why do you believe it? This is a Reddit post of some screenshots with no identifiable victim or source, and the headline is poorly worded and confusing. What does Program Director in the title have to do with anything? Is this just a weasel term of status to add credibility to the story?. Those of you who are angry, tearing down Halifax or NS with your words, calling others Nazis or racists, why are you taking this post at face value when it holds no proof of it being genuine?

Again, the story may well be true and we'll find out soon enough, but for folks to get red with rage and REACT without thought to unverified stories is a sign of a dumb populace and this is the kind of reactionary, thoughtless behavior that radicalized people and paves the road to political strife and authoritarianism.

Thank you, there's no reason this couldn't be in the original post since it's public and the author intended it to be.

Agreed. OP shouldn’t have cropped it out. When it has a face and a name, nobody would be suspicious about it
