A mass grave 'hoax' is offensive?

In the important opinion piece on the other side of the paywall, Brian Giesbrecht asks why “A P.E.I. councillor is being asked to step down because he posted a sign outside his house that said ‘Mass Grave Hoax.’ It also made references to John A. Macdonald and reconciliation.”
