Naming things is for expedient identification among the citizens- Putting names that no one will use is idiocy.
They are trying it here(Ontario) and we will simply ignore the new ones until sane leaders come back and change them.
It's like asking me for my pronouns- I will not comply. Kiss my Butt!
When did our governments get hijacked by minor players in society at the expense of everyone else.
We need recall legislation at all levels of government and other exclusive bureaucracies that make rules for all when we don't support them- Covid mandates maybe from health Canada??
If we could have done that maybe there would have been no freedom convoy or lockdowns or masks or passports or banning walks in the woods.
The time for finding out whether the interests of the majority will be represented by those we elect is before voting because individual representatives are nothing but puppets whose strings are pulled by their Leaders. If they choose to vote for a member of a party that's committed to this type of nonsense, they deserve what they end up with - nonsense.
I guess my comment was more a wish list to include entities that control us, but we have no control over them- We need to find a way to push back without having to organize convoys or defy laws to end up in court to fight the bureaucracies with our own time and money(ie: walking in the woods in NS).
Thanks again Grace J. If this just gets read by 10 more people , then this will grow to twenty and so on. Certainly needs to be brought in the proper light so all can see.
The insane part is the Indigenous HAD NO WRITTEN language. So this is more made up crap to appease the globalist regime headed by the UN, funded by the WEF, protected by NATO.
They make it up as they go along with their craziness.. The've taken the alphabet and turned it upside down and that constitutes a language. Where are the real leader is this country? Maybe Trump saw something!
Considering that none of the indigenous peoples of British Columbia ever had any form of written language before Europeans arrived, who invented this one? Obviously, it was created by modern “forward thinking” government bureaucrats, who clearly thought it would be “helpful” to create an entirely new alphabet, which no one, NOT ONE single person, including indigenous people, can read, write, or pronounce.
There’s not an indigenous person in the province who doesn’t use and understand English and the English alphabet - which can easily accommodate spelling indigenous words - was abandoned in favour of a new, nonsensical alphabet which not one person on earth ever used, or can use or understand.
BC politicians have lost a few screws. They can't even see that they're making no sense at all. I lived there for 46 yrs and when I saw the 'writing on the wall' in 2019, I made haste to depart. It was going downhill quicker than I could keep track. I feel sorry for BCers because the province was once a jewel in Canada, now it's become an insane house. Deterioration is sad to watch.
Another street with letters, digits chicken scratch not on any keyboard. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE IN BC. I THINK ALL THE DRUGS YOU TAKEN HAVE FRIED YOUR BRAINS 🧠
These acts create division, not reconciliation! You want the population to harbour hate for indigenous groups, just keep doing this and you will succeed. Erasing history never unified anyone. I suspect that many of the indigenous people themselves are not even asking for this to be done. Typical pandering of the liberal left will end in no one being happy about the outcome. Why do they do it? The left loves to hate anyone who has accomplished anything and has been successful. Even more than that they hate the roots of western civilization which is a foundational belief in God and His rules for life.
It would be wonderful if in all elections we had the brains to elect those with common sense and not the nicest hair or wearing the biggest rainbow. Voters of Vancouver are responsible for these fools. In the kind and caring wheel house with winter coming it is much kinder to transport all Canada’s homeless to better survivable winter climates so bus tickets to Vancouver for all Trudeau villages.
Did the pre European settlers native population have a written alphabet? I was always taught the native population had no written historic records, only oral. Where and more importantly, when, did these letters and numerous accents come from, if not from Europeans? I've been asking this question for decades. No answer yet.
Let's rename British Columbia "Scratch-my-ass" after that well-known jesture visitors make as they quickly turn around and leave after realizing that they have mistakenly made a wrong turn and ended up in the sewer.
I'm an old, white, Anglo-Saxon. My ancestors emigrated from Scotland to Canada back in the 1600's. So I guess that makes me, by genetic association at least, guilty of a whole lot of crimes against the indigenous population of Canada. OK, whatever, guilty.
But the issue of calling places by their precolonial names is not really important to me - sorry, it just isn't. There are no negative triggers associated with it. I feel pretty laissez-faire about the whole thing.
What I would like to know, is how the majority of First Nations members feel about the issue. Is this a crucial issue for them, or just something that would be nice? Would appreciate any feedback from that sector of the population.
I am in favour of respecting Indigenous people. However, doing something that disrespects everyone else achieves what?
Respect is earned, not compelled. If someone is forced to do something, they will instinctively resist. The only thing that will be achieved by this type of action will be "lots of blowback".
With "Friends like the NDP", the indiginous don't need "Enemy's"
The whole thing is nonsensical. Given the complexity of any language, there need to be enough "speakers" in existence for them to keep it alive. The authenticity of many of these names is certainly questionable in the first place.
BC is lost! It’s not our job to keep ancient languages going. It’s their language therefore their responsibility.

This must get done!

When is this stupidly going to stop…..even their own people cannot spell it, little alone say it…..get these WOKE heads out!!!!
Enough is enough, stop this nonsense NOW!

The government in BC is NDP, not Liberal,.....even worse!
Very little difference... Singh ... Trudeau both deranged thinking.
it is the noble savage syndrome of intellectuals sipping their latte's and hugging each other while the city burns.
A Tower of Babel.
