  1. We must erase our bourgeois past. Since it is the premier park in Vancouver it should be renamed People’s Park #1. Grouse Mountain Park could become People’s Park #2, and so forth.

    1. Great idea. Since the Marxist attack ultimately focuses on destroying Western culture, why not name it after one of the villains of international Marxism who specialized in that form of attack? Gramsci Park, for instance. Or, any of the members of the Frankfurt School.

      1. Get used to the politicians doing these changes they have nothing to do all day long, except show off. The people don’t change though. Old names have a way of sticking. The new people don’t know the former names of places and streets, so, they stick out to you, telling you something about themselves, without realizing it.

        They changed English names in Q province a long time ago, still doing it, especially once someone passes. It is utterly classless, like telling lies, this changing history makes the Liberal Commies look foolish, arrogant and as what they are, money squanderers.

    1. “Don’t forget to apologize for the name Vancouver while at this lunacy.”

      You invaders still don’t get it. Apology is not enough!! The name must be changed to whatever the indigenous natives called it. It probably was something like “big salt water lake with sand and fish and clams and drift wood”…….. in the proper dialect of course even if it is nearly unpronouncable. Think Gitchigumi as a starting point and compound from there.

      Note: As near as I can figure, “Vancouver” was named for an English navigator who explored the pacific coast in the early 1800s (George Vancouver). But it doen’t really matter. What does is that it is a colonial name.

      1. Since PM Pretty Sox abolished Canada, does that mean that we’re all Turtle Islanders up here?

      1. Oh, you can’t use “cougar”.

        That’s cultural appropriation by Portuguese colonialists of a Brazilian indigenous people’s word!

        The shame of it all!

  2. I am going to try my hand at hijacking a thread. Was watching this Larry Elder video…

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oww-4wdrvgI

    And now, everyday, I am going to say to myself and my children, that the one thing you will never regret at the end of your life, is working hard, and being kind. Winning that fight with your sister, will not be on your top ten accomplishments list.

  3. Why would anyone who immigrated to Canada in the lastvdecade possibly want to stay now? I mean it seems like false advertising to have attracted immigrants, only to change all the terns and conditions?

    Mind you, Canadians have always been shifty-eyed shafters when it comes to business dealings, so perhaps that isn’t surprising after all.

  4. It is strange. We now live in a society where only victimhood matters. If you do not have an allergy, or a black eye, you really don’t matter…

    And that is what every protest I have ever heard about has been for my entire life. If there is no grievance, real or imagined, there is nothing.

  5. Would someone pls Take Gregor Robertson and his cabal of Marxist SJW for a nice little field trip to Capilano Suspension bridge – then toss that garbage over.

    Absolute Madness…but then, Hey Vancouver – YOU Voted for this Diseased Imbecile…more than once I might add. About as bright as the Calgary Voters for re-upping Iman Nenshi once again.

    We are witnessing the result of 40 yrs of Socialist – Marxist – Politically Correct Indoctrination – Compliments of our Nation wide UNIONIZED Public “Servants”….Teachers / Profs.

    Zimbabwe indeed

    As for this ex # 6 Rd Richmondite, Stanley Park will always be Stanley Park

    1. Stanley Park will always be Stanley Park … until the lefties make it “illegal” to use that name.

      1. They do that and I’m gonna start doing some other illegal things to lefties.

    2. Would someone pls Take Gregor Robertson and his cabal of Marxist SJW for a nice little field trip to Capilano Suspension bridge

      When I was a grad student in Vancouver nearly 40 years ago, Jack Volrich was in charge. He was probably the last mayor who was worth anything.

  6. Natives can change the name of the park if they agree to give back all the big screen TVs.

  7. If they make it illegal, then those tasked with enforcing it should become acquainted with a new term: “enemy of the people”…

    While we’re at it, I am all for renaming Gdansk to Danzig, Istanbul to Byzantium, Paris to Lutetia, and I demand Winchester be returned to its proper Anglo-Saxon name of Wintancaestre.

  8. I just celebrated my 10 year departure from Vancouver. Living in the country, rural existence with all of its advantages. In the top 10 decisions of my life. I used to think that it was the processed water that was the source of urban insanity, but now after reading a fair amount about the gut biome, sleep health and human psyche/physiology, it’s a fine balance of sleep deprivation due to urban light/sound at night, industrialized chemically complex food that pollutes their neural pathways is the root of this insanity. Just like the romans and their lead pipes, the symptomatic self destruction of all things we hold dear.

    1. I started grad studies in Vancouver in the late 1970s, leaving after a year. One of the reasons was the general fruitloopery of the place, something which quickly became apparent to me after I moved there. I had no regrets about moving away.

      Maybe the climate is the main reason for the nuttiness of the place. What sane person can put up with the frequent precipitation?

      Vancouver….. nice place to visit, but I don’t recommend living there.

    2. I’m not much of a ‘believer’ in “multiple chemical sensitivities” and other ‘alternative’ health scares … … however … … I believe you’re onto something there. I’ll entertain the notion of … ‘multiple sensory deprivations’. And I’ll add to that, the idea of being a hamster wheel turning wage slave … having to eat shit daily from ‘multiple managerial personalities’ who are your inferior. THAT … is soul crushing and harmful to one’s mental health.

  9. Many Road signs on the Sea-to-Highway are now bilingual: English and Indian. The indian is weird with multiple ‘x’s and ‘y’s and stuff and I’m always muttering:
    ” how many Indians can pronounce that”.

    It’s kinda like those little Indian festivals where people are bopping about beating drums and chanting something: I always wonder: ‘are they just making sh*t up?

    An Indian desk clerk in Lillooet once excoriated me for using the “I” word instead of the foul FN phrase. Said he wasn’t from India. I informed him that welfare mama was still called Department of Indian and Northern Affairs” (without of course baiting him with the non-PC lingo.

    1. Me No Dhimmi, hard to pronounce the Indian words, but if you know how they do these things, it’s pretty easy.

      Second, who makes them up? Good question, I suggest the new name for Stanley Park should be open for public entry and then put to popular vote.

      My entry will be “Place of m’nA b’rd p**pZ *nna Z’dwAlk”.

    2. LOL !!!

      ages ago my brother the retired plumber in the BC interior, who was hired to do some work for the local INDIAN band was admonished for using the ‘I’ word by the clerk he was attempting to get payment.
      he then pointed out the OFFICIAL name of the local INDIAN band.

      nuts. fcukin’ nuts. so many leftoid ‘rules’ no wonder they step all over each other.

  10. The article references ” the development of a more comprehensive colonial audit,”. “Colonial audit??? If these people are so upset by colonial settlement, then they should just move. It is hypocritical to stay when they are so convinced that settlement was wrong. This is just getting bizarre.

  11. Indian is an English word with Latin roots. People in India don’t call themselves Indian unless speaking in English. I’ve known dozens of Indians and no-one has ever seemed concerned about the name Indian. They are smart enough to know it’s descriptive, not insulting. The Edmonton Eskimos did a tour of the Northwest Territories this year and found that most Eskimos were proud of the name Edmonton Eskimos. I met an Eskimo a few years ago and her words were “I’m an Eskimo.”

    1. “Indian is an English word with Latin roots.”

      And the Latin roots go back to Sanskrit via Greek and Old Persian.

      The terms Hindi and Hindu are not similar to Indian by coincidence.

    2. I would think so. Adopting a name that relates to native people acknowledges their impact on the culture. It is particularly a plus when sports teams use such names because these names are chosen to represent fierceness and a formidable competitor. Why are we choosing to now exclude native culture from our society? The Liberals are insisting on two separate realities, when they should be seeking ways to come together in a positive way. Yes, native culture was side-lined at an earlier point because it was less advanced. Now, let us all enjoy that we live in an advanced society where cultural differences are respected, but not made the focus of efforts to undo history. I suspect that many native people see this as more evidence of hypocrisy and cultural dominance. (e.g. We apologize and you (natives) must accept it.) History cannot be undone and while individual humans made many mistakes (still do), society as a whole has not been wrong to want natives to become part of society through education and participation in the economy. Catering to the perpetual grievance mentality is very wrong headed.

  12. I agree with the sentiments expressed here, but it is unlikely to the extreme that the freemasonic “Washington monument” will ever be toppled.

  13. I don’t think the park board can rename it. Stanley Park is owned by DND.

    1. Yeah, But DND is so anxious to be seen at the forefront of inclusion and diversity that they will do anything to please their political masters these days. Even at the expense of being an effective fighting force.

  14. On a side note, does anyone find it odd the number of homosexual politicians in the west, especially at the highest levels? In Canada, we have Gregor Robertson, Kathleen Wynne, Naheed Nenshi, Wade MacLaughlan (PEI premier), Scott Brison, Svend Robinson, etc. Throw in American homosexual politicians and the numbers go way up. Most of the mayors of major cities, Barack Obama, etc. They are far more representative than statistically likely. Many don’t profess to be homosexual until their political careers are over, or after they have helped craft pro-homosexual legislation.

    Who picks these candidates for the serfs to pick from come election time?

    1. Watto,
      Just count the number of First Generation Americans in Politics….Bernie Sanders, Cruz, Marco ..(and now the Porto Rican Socialist )
      In Canada the BLM are imported activists from the Island Nations… George Soros has a wide range of recruits …

      JMHO

    2. It’s planned. When you normalize degeneracy and mental illness, this is what you get.

      Ever think Juthtin’s “old stock” Canadian quote might just be an honest reflection of what he thinks??

      1. Replacing the leadership and eventually the population of undesirables has been a tried and true tactic of despots for millennia. Interesting how many of both the leaders and replacements are either Catholic or Muslim.

    3. Who picks these candidates? Join your riding association and get involved in the candidate selection process. I did. (A real eye opener.) It only took me a year and a half to figure out the candidate had been selected months before the committee was formed. Many say in the P.M.O. but I suspect these decisions are made in the boardrooms of international banks, by scicophants of George Soreass and his ilk.

      1. Soros is a puppet. If things go badly, he will be sacrificed. And then those who hide behind their Jewish puppets will carry on with their agenda through another Jewish puppet.

        Who are the puppeteers?

        Jesuits.

        1. I thought it was the Bilderbergs, the top billionaires in the world, am I wrong? Or is it the two? Or does one rule the other? Someone? Reply?

          1. It’s the Lizard People of course, led by Queen Elizabeth II from a secret bunker in Area 51.

            C’mon, everybody knows that.

      2. I stopped believing in Cdn “conservatives” once I saw the identity politics they decry everywhere else but there are just as many brown parachutes into ridings as the Lieberals.

        It’s just about someone in your jersey winning now.

    4. Buzz off, troll. You post this garbage on SDA, a right wing blog, to try to smear it by association. I have never seen you post here before today.

      It is leftists whose tolerance of homosexuals ( or Jews, or Catholics, or blacks, or any other human beings) depends entirely on whether or not they spew Marxism. Any who don’t, such as Milo, or Pope Benedict, or Clarence Thomas are savagely, and unrelentingly attacked. Conservatives are live and let live vis a vis others.

      1. Small c conservative, I have posted on SDA for many years, though frequently in spurts.

        Both the left and right have members in varying shades of tolerance. The farther left one goes, the greater the intolerance – that much is true. You however sound like a fiscal conservative rather than a social conservative. Social conservatives would disagree with your position.

        Nonetheless, even I would care much less about one’s sexual proclivities if those with them didn’t militantly push their views on others. And that is exactly what those in politics do. For that reason, I care. Due to their representation in politics being way out of whack with their population, I posed the question above.

        1. Milo Yiannopolous is gay and a strong supporter of Trump, who has appointed judges who are uniformly loyal to the Constitution, earning him the overwhelming support of evangelical Christians in the United States. Milo does not seek to inflict the radical agenda of the militant left , in any of its aberrant forms, on the United States.

          The exception disproves the rule as they say and and those of us who are social and fiscal conservative’s must take our allies where we find them. And you would be hard put to find a more affective conservative voice anywhere than Milo
          Yiannopolous.

  15. Pehaps when the big 10 earthquake takes California below the ocean’s murky depths, it will take the island of Vancouver with it.

    Which wins the race – the asteroid or the earthquake?

  16. Change Stanley Park’s name? Can’t wait to see what the parade in Vancouver will be called when the Canucks win the Stanley Cup.

    Ha ha ha ha…Canucks winning the Cup? Jeezuz that’ll never happen. I crack myself up sometimes.

  17. The Marxists that run everything out in BC like to change the names of everything historical, its what Marxists do… Queen Charlotte Islands is now supposed to be called some made up Indian name, Haida Gay or some such horseshit, same with either the Hecate Strait or the Georgia Strait which is now supposed to be called some Indian name too, can’t remember what name they made up for that. May I suggest Stalingrad Park or Leningrad Park… how about Chairman Mao Park or hell, why not, Marxist Park. Name it after the foreign funded politicians who spear head this embrace of Marxism, how about, Asshole Park.. or how about the 13% park representing the 13% of douchebags that voted for Gregor Soros Robertson.

  18. Outstanding comments here. I am glad to see I am not alone in my views on this extreme – and in many ways problematic – example of virtue signaling.

    So if the natives think the park should be renamed, let them put up an equivalent to Lord Stanley from their end in terms of accomplishments and we’ll take a vote. How about that?

    Canada is screwed if it keeps up with this utter nonsense.

  19. So why does the 10% of the population who support this insanity get to dictate to the 90% who don’t?

    “The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.”

  20. I’m willing. provided the natives acknowledge their warring and slaving past.
