For over 25 years, Lorne Grabher proudly displayed his personalized license plate, which had his family name on it. But in 2016, he faced a setback when the plate was revoked. The reason? Some people claimed that it supported sexual violence against women.Recently, the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia awarded Grabher $750 in court costs, marking a new development in this long-standing dispute. While this is certainly a step in the right direction, there are still important questions to consider.
The main argument against Grabher’s license plate was that it was somehow connected to derogatory comments made by President Donald Trump. However, Grabher’s lawyer vehemently disagreed with this association. He argued that the license plate was simply a representation of his client’s family name and had nothing to do with Trump or any offensive context.
