What’s In A Name?

Changing place names isn’t cheap, and it’s not made any better when the new names are often jibberish. But all levels of government in Canada seem to be happy to accept this new millstone around their necks.

The replacement of Powell River is already occurring, piece by piece and without public consultation. Powell River General Hospital was renamed in 2022, followed by the school board, both replacing “Powell River” with the name “qathet,” which means “working together.” Furthermore, the regional Vancouver Island University satellite campus was renamed to “tiwšɛmawtxʷ,” meaning “house of learning,” to eliminate references to Israel Powell, a controversial colonial official.

  1. Shitholia.
    Referring to the newest shithole so renamed.
    Nobody can pronounce the new labels and no one really cares.
    Hence “shitholia” ,the proper name for a place where virtue signalling idiots hold power.

  2. Damn, I wish those “Firstnasionerrs” used a regular alphabet rather than writing all of their history down on birch bark using the weirdlettersandtheendleeslengthyphrases.

  3. Just rename every city and town in BC using Wing-ding font.
    That ought to keep the FFNs and liberal tongue-bathers happy; at least until the FFNs run low on other peoples’ money.
    Only a matter of time before Brampton’s renamed Brahmaputon.
    And Wasaga Beach will be renamed for the Indian word meaning “beach outhouse”.

  4. Just to add to the insanity, I just heard on the local news this morning that Waterloo and Kitchener are going to start putting fire pits in public parks for use by natives so they can dance around ceremonial fires whenever they want.

  5. In addition, don’t forget both Van and Vic changed their TRUTCH streets to hieroglyphics, because RACE CARD.
    The New Patullo Bridge is also unpronounceable, as are several schools.
    It’s clear, the ENDP only represents the 3% or less that are Bush nggrs, and the radical unions. Period.
