    1. I could get behind that initiative – even if they insisted on using words from a dead language long forgotten by 99% of the “indigenous people” of Canada.

    2. And Pearson Airport.
      Lester Pearson is actually where the rot started.
      Before the Marxist Pierre Trudeau threw gas on the fire.

      1. Hey that’s right. The F’N’ (First Nations – wink, wink) invented aeroplanes shortly before the muslims did, way before the Egyptians. Anyone want to fly on an F’N’ aeroplane?

        I must admit, this story has enraged me a little.

        1. Just rename Canada and get it over with. I vote “Fagtopia”. “Kanadistan”, “Mikmac Pattywack”. If you think I’m a Bigot. I’m Sorry, I never Apologize, or repeat myself, or apologize.

    1. Whenever an election rolls around you can vote for your local sociopath. That’s about the extent of “your say”.

      Democracy is the worst system except for all the others or whatever.

      1. True. But none of us really wants a democracy, we just want OUR guy in charge.

        Given the powers behind the throne who invite every new PM to the famous weekend meeting at Irving’s Lodge to “meet with the business leaders of Canada” as they say in the papers, it’s quite clear this is an oligarchy and a PM can play around with his favorite items like climate change or gun control, but never affect the Elite.

        1. We had the same thing here in Alberta when Ralph Klein held an “economic summit”. Minimum admission price was a net worth of at least 8 figures. Anybody with less than that didn’t exist.

      2. Jeff:

        Churchill said that but he also said this:

        The best argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter.

        I think it’s down to 30 seconds now.

  3. I vote we change the name on any structure (building, statue, bridge, etc. etc.) that has a Liberal’s name on it. And, tear down any structure named after anyone named Trudeau.

    1. I suggest we change Trudeau’s name. Any suggestions?
      Points awarded for smartness.

      JustUN Truenorth

      1. Justinflation sends him into a rage. It should be used everywhere.

  4. The bridge signs saying ‘Epekwitk’ should be in the traditional written language.

    Oh wait.

    Better still, how about crossing the water in a traditional manner? Canoes (made with traditional stone tools) anyone?

    1. It would be fun on a speeding ticket. “Officer, where was the offence committed? What? You can’t pronounce it or spell it? Case dismissed.”

  5. Confederation was an important undertaking towards unifying OUR country.

    But hey, if we’re tearing down our country’s achievements lock, stock, and barrel, I’m okay with renaming Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba back to Rupert’s land.

    If only to erase aboriginal “legitimacy” and equal the playing field some.

  6. In the Crokkabalony language, the term “hellosukka” means “Hand it over, whitey.”

  7. Dinosaurs called, they want us ( well actually native indians since they were here before us ) to give them back the land and pay them reparations.

    They also ask that we stop using the expression ” fossil fuels” in respect for their deceased loved ones.

  9. An acquaintance sent me an e-mail about this(his words, no link) and when I read it I replied to him:
    “When I read your e-mail, I concluded you were joking because the idea seemed so ludicrous.
    Then later I saw the CBC news article about it. This constant arse licking pandering is ridiculous.
    FFS!! Shoot me now! ”

    Anyway, so is the word ‘Confederation’ going to get cancelled because it offends our feathered friends?

  12. Mi’kmaw word for “something lying on the water,”

    Man I hope it’s “over” the water, but who cares when your woke and broke.

  14. We shouldn’t call it Canada, that is cultural appropriation of some Indian word. Let’s call it UNville, the firt post-national global governance space.

  15. Mi’kmaw huh. If it is something that lies on the water (well a lot) that could describe our PM.
    He does spend most of his time surfing and lying. What is Mi’kmaw for lies under the water which would describe our economy. Or how about the Mi’kmaw word(s) for we are governed by idiots.
    Lastly, did anyone ask the people that run tourism in PEI whether renaming the bridge was a good idea? What is Mi’kmaw for Anne of Green Gables?

  16. Mi’kmaw word for “something lying on the water,” _ I beleve that is the description of a floating turd.

    1. Must have been the raw Sewage from Q Bec. Montreal donates their “Something Lying on the water” every rainstorm.

  17. “something lying on the water,”

    Thus reflecting the extent of native technological development when it came to bridge building.

  18. Because we all know that Canada suffers from a deficiency of ‘dijinuss place names.

    1. My kids hate when I call Non Menstruating Persons Living on a reserve- “Indians”. So I call them Indians a lot. Conquered people should know their role and shut their mouth. But not when Filthy Liberals are around to Fetishize them. Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.

  19. “Something lying on the water” isn’t the sort of inspirational phraseology I have come to expect from aboriginals and their highly refined spiritual nature.
    BTW, the second half of that phrase, yet to be translated, says “that belongs to us as long as the sun shines on Ottawa”.

    1. On a certain other website that I frequent, the subject of Prinz Dummkopf came up in a discussion. One of the members who, I believe, in Switzerland heard all about his antics, his politics, and that his father showed a great deal of Fidel-ity.

      And, no, that chap doesn’t like him, either.

      1. B– His antics went wide. He doesn’t care whether he’s liked or not, he’ll be back like Macron. Spank me I’m off topic!

  23. It’s not like Confederation Bridge was a stroke of naming genius but at least I can pronounce it.

  24. I must have missed something. Did the Indians build it? People without an alphabet or the wheel?

  25. Yeah but it’s not lying on the water, not an Indian invention, nor built by them.

  26. L – The most economical solution is:
    1. To rename Parliament as the Snake Pit and move it to Prince Edward Island.
    2. Erect a Disney castle, ‘El Tyrant for Life’, formal address 24 Sussex Drive, P.E.I. .
    The ocean will serve as the moat.
    3. Have a drawbridge lowered from the western side of the bridge, but if and only if
    a Sask. and Alberta majority vote for that to be allowed(e.i when Hell freezes over).
    4. The King Snake’s personal protection squad will patrol around P.E.I. on Sea Horses.

    All in favour … carried by a unanimous vote of one by Her Majesty Q.E. II .

  27. Apologizes to the film, but from Calgary, “It’s a Bridge Too Far” to care about.

  28. Epekwitk, or as usually written Abegweit by us european descended natives, was the original PEI residents preference for the name of the bridge. Then Chretien imposed the name Confederation Bridge to ‘celebrate’ confederation. Abegweit, usually translated as Cradled on the waves, is a fond nickname and was often used as a second name for PEI going back years before all this politically correct nonsense. See this as a Conservative government rejecting a Liberal imposed name and going back to what we originally wanted.
    Lets review all Liberal imposed names and clean out the garbage but this change is a good one.

    1. Sure. If its so great a name why try to spell it in English using Latin script?
      Oh. Because you never invented the written language so you sreal ours.

  29. That’s too easy to spell and pronounce.
    Add another 15 letters.

    Or what’s wrong with Bridgey McBridgeface?

  31. A completely different take…

    If I was an indigenous/aboriginal person, and I saw these mealy-mouthed, woke, white-saviour politicians promise to rename some bridge with a name from my long-lost language, which I can’t speak, I would be an angry screaming mess. What a completely useless, empty gesture. I’d much rather have some clean water running to the taps in the run-down, bug-infested shack that my local chief allows me to live in.
    But then again, as an aboriginal person, I’d know that my chief has bigger plans for the future. He and his big-city grievance-industry pals are greasing up these woke, white cucks for the inevitable multi-billion dollar reparation payment. And as an aboriginal person living in his rotten shack, I will only see pennies on the dollar of this white-man money. My chief, and his professional lobbyists are going to get almost all that cash.
