They apparently associated the last name Grabher with Trump's infamous comments:

Crown report says 'GRABHER' licence plate 'supports sexual violence against women' - Nova Scotia - CBC News

We are getting to a point in society where political correctness that the Left has pushed upon us has overtaken all common sense.

Who is going to go out and commit sexual violence because they see a license plate that says Grabher?

Just a phase the left is going through. It will pass in time. It used to be the left was for complete free speech and the right was the ones who said we need to be careful with what we say to avoid offending certain people, now the roles have reversed. Statists will be statists. They merely switch roles every 30 years or so.

I'm not surprised. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if the government tried to force his family to change their last name.
My initials form a three letter word that was commonly used to refer to one group of people the United States fought in WWII. That word is apparently now unacceptable. My last Disabled hang tag only had my first and last initial on it, one of the very few that does not have all three initials. Oh, my, can't have THAT WORD in public view!
But, F**** YOU on a bumper sticker is acceptable?
We live in a sick society.

Forget that it's his last name, does anyone really think "GRABHER" is a good license tag to have right now?

Why not? are you going to assault someone because of some letters in a certain sequence on a license plate?

I doubt that many people even pay attention to license plates!

Getting to the point where? We've been there for a long time. This is what happens when unelected career bureaucrats get to decide what is right and wrong.
