1. “Wîhkwêntôwin, written ᐄᐧᐦᑫᐧᐣᑑᐃᐧᐣ in Cree syllabics, means circle of friends”
   Bullshit.
   It means insanity has taken over.
   Same with Coonskin Creek.
   Now if it was named Jigaboo Creek, I’d be onside.

   1. Doesn’t it have to be written in pine tar mixed with wood ash on a piece of birch bark?

      1. Maybe. You could use the blood of your recently tortured slave and draw a pictogram on a stone.

   2. just wondering how many Cree folks actually live in the neighborhood formerly known as Oliver…some of the highest price real estate in Edmonton…

   3. I noticed the last time I was in Toronto that all the street signs around Spadina and Queen are in English and Chinese.

   4. Does anyone know how to pronounce that? Because I certainly don’t.

2. The renaming continues.
   So does this mean that Davey Crockett now has to wear an African-American skin cap? Asking for a friend.

3. Mainstream media hypocrisy is usually far worse than what the narrative that they are hiding or changing from an opinionated perspective.

   President Trump wouldn’t have visited if he believed there was any type of danger.
   Leadership choice of who… whom to hang around.

   Certainly not Obama and his administration operatives.
   Taking one for the team when they’re all been compromised and corrupted.

4. Coonskin refers to raccoons. If Natural Resources Canada thinks the word refers to something else, they are doing the offending by making an inappropriate connection. Shame on them.

5. At what point does remaining this that and the other thing become cultural appropriation?

   Obviously it’ll start in 10 years when the CPC starts defending Canada’s long tradition of using indigenous places names, but of there some other marker, like us white settlers start using indigenous names without being scolded by activists

6. Renaming Edmonton neighborhood. Could they at least pick a name that is pronounceable.
   Before whitey the natives didn’t have an alphabet so lets rename that neighborhood in the original indigenous scrip as in: . or: .

   1. If the left want to rename, then the left should also move into native type housing.

      They should also give up their cars and walk on the newly named paths.

7. Obviously we are forced to give National Resources Canada too much money if they have time to search for “offensive” place names…

8. https://museum.bc.ca/event-list/?eid=135

   Drag shows at BC Museums, and how to Queer the spaces!

9. Lametti resigning. Another rat runs.
