  1. Here’s where Carney can show leadership. Federal law can require banks and their ilk to recognise “Trutch”, though I would prefer the compromise “rue Thunderfish”. A quick executive order of the kind that only Carney seems able to make would do the trick. Come on, Art, show some leadership! Er, I mean Mark.

    1. You would figure that street names would be required to be in the Latin alphabet. I can’t find my physical address on the standard database used by banks. If I can talk to a human they can over-ride. They also want a postal code for an address that doesn’t have mail delivery. The dick-heads in Toronto seem to know that prairie people don’t live in their mailbox but have a hard time realizing that mail is typically not delivered to farms.

    2. Canadian Indians have become a parody of themselves.
      I mean to say ….” šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm ” Is that a first or last name?
      His friends call him ‘Buddy‘
      Aaaand … apparently, Buffy Saint Marie is not an Indian and Jay Silver Heels … AKA, Tonto, was Canadian. Graham Green’s real name is Kicking Bird, or is it the other way around.

      Canada is the real parody.

    3. You hit the nail right on its head. The change from Trutch Street is unintended self parody. The unfortunate shmucks living on the street will be hurt — but nobody bothered to ask them for their opinions. But I hope this blows up in city hall’s faced.

  2. Or a few people could remember that there are two, and only two, official languages in this joke of a country, and enforce the law accordingly. Would that be so difficult?

  3. I’ll bet that the name of the street is too long to fit on government application spaces…for example, if you are renewing or acquiring a new driver’s license. Also, how do you do that umlaut thingy and the tiny w’s on a laptop? That’s above my pay grade.

  4. L – Vancouver could opt to re-negotiate the Treaty of Oregon. Their dollar would buy a lot more. They’d have effective R.I.C.O. laws, which would put an end to the Triad money laundering in Casinos, and they’d be able to seize more than a $100 Billion in money laundered Real Estate.

    The difficult part would they’d have to adjust to having Constitutional Rights and more of them and better protected in that the 2nd protects the 1st et al. Having Freedom of Speech returned would require the biggest adjustment. Rights come the Responsibility of defending in word and deed.

    “The Oregon Treaty[a] was a treaty between the United Kingdom and the United States that was signed on June 15, 1846, in Washington, D.C. The treaty brought an end to the Oregon boundary dispute by settling competing American and British claims to the Oregon Country; the area had been jointly occupied by both Britain and the U.S. since the Treaty of 1818.[1]” wikipedia

    “Meriwether Lewis wrote that the Vancouver area was “the only desired situation for settlement west of the Rocky Mountains”. The first permanent European settlement did not occur until 1824, when Fort Vancouver was established as a fur trading post of the Hudson’s Bay Company. From that time on, the area was settled by both the US and Britain under a “joint occupation” agreement. Joint occupation led to the Oregon boundary dispute and ended on June 15, 1846, with the signing of the Oregon Treaty, which gave the United States full control of the area.”

    1. Fort Vancouver was a Hudson’s Bay Company fort on the north bank of the Columbia River across from present day Portland, Oregon. Fort Vancouver was not at the mouth of the Fraser River in BC. Vancouver, BC came much later.

  5. Imagine that? The banks and (paleface) institutions cannot … reconcile … the absurd imaginary characters meant to represent the tongue clicks and tooth whistles of nimNamnNackis*h Tribal language. And just IMAGINE the fusterclicks of the French-Indian Tribes!! ??

  6. Good. And. Hard.

    Is there no limit to the stupidity this country embraces by pandering to these non-contributing and unproductive layabouts?

    2. I’d steal one or more of those ABSURD street signs with my sazall and metal blades. Because they are bound to become valuable collector items … like hand beaded moccasins from 1744 … after the street name is changed to the Muslim word for infidel, or the Chinese word for stupid white people.

  8. Written indigenous naming, being a recent nonlinguistic concoction of grievance industry operatives, are intended to be unpronounceable in any language as either a mind-f..k and or a joke on the non-indigenous and mindless Eloi prostrating themselves to submit to the “noble race”. The later description typifies the class of elected Jacobins and Bolsheviks pursuing such nihilism.

  9. First shot in the war. It will now be a hate crime for your system to not allow for the entry of “šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm street.” Credit card companies, begin preparing for the wave of discrimination lawsuits.

  10. I’m more annoyed by the wierd froggy letter in the word “pokemon” (instead of “e”).

  11. This is the direction your country goes when you just…”make shit up!”

  12. This is slightly better than the languages that use the Microsoft Wingdings font as their written language.

  13. I used to send, successfully, a relative a monthly package that had to be weighed for proper postage. After doing this for quite a while, one day the post office person says “This city and postal code doesn’t exist…” That was news to my relative…

  14. This will be how the post office decides to end home delivery, for the natives you know.

  15. Y’know…with some minor rearranging of certain letters you can at least get “Sesame” out of that mess.

  16. I agree that it is stupid to rename streets, parks, cities, etc. with unpronounceable made up Indian names, but in this case, there is an alternative: Musqueam View. People are offended and shrieking over nothing. It’s just Eby’s government virtue signaling. We should be used to it by now.

  17. For the name change to take place, there should be at least one Indian who can write this word from memory. Do you really think they can find one?
