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.
Just call the whole thing: Youcowardweakcuckedpatheticsheepdeserveyourfateistan.
Speaking of renaming things …

Will Canada begin renaming the renaming … after it’s discovered whom is really responsible for all those missing Indigenous women?
House of learning?
The so called First Nations didn’t learn anything.
Professor ‘Knowledge Keeper’
Playing the telephone game.
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.
” “tiwšɛmawtxʷ,”
Primitive Stone agers used their IPads to type this I guess.
How many of those letters and symbols represents tongue clicks? My language doesn’t use those.
Damn, I wish those “Firstnasionerrs” used a regular alphabet rather than writing all of their history down on birch bark using the weirdlettersandtheendleeslengthyphrases.
Forgetting history does not change it.
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”.
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.
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.
The “funniest” (or maybe saddest) thing about this nonsense is that the Indians didn’t have a written language or an alphabet – so stuff like ““tiwšɛmawtxʷ” is totally imaginary.
Also, they are appropriating the Second Nation’s (that is, The Taxpaying Nation) own ancient alphabet!!
Its a nail biter waiting for the ‘unexpected consequences’ of this one.
And it’ll be a rust spitter experiencing them.
Not to worry…..in a few years, after Communist China has bought up most of the foreclosed property in B.C., the names will all be changed to Mandarin. And the FN puppets will end up like the Uyghurs….although from what I have seen, they won’t get a lot of work out of the FN.
L – After the Justin Trudeau removed Sir John A. MacDonald from the face of the $10 bill and declared Canada the “first, post nation-state”. Then the statues and names of historical figures of note were denigrated and streets, squares and schools were changed. Just like the revisionism of Soviet times and 1984.
Prairie people recognized the pattern, understood the implication of being a post nation-state.
That post nation state mentality(W.E.F./E.U. Empire of Trudeau and Carney is part of the political impetus that resulted in Saskatchewan and Alberta Independence movement, to regain the status of a self-governing people, citizenship in a nation-state. Rather than be a colony of serfs in a globalist empire run by Eurocrats in Brussels and the gnomes(e.i. Carney) in the “City of London” financial centre.
Here’s how you fight this sort of nonsense:
Montreal Airport….aka Montréal-Trudeau (YUL). Contact the tribal leader of the Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) Nation in the Montreal area and put a bug in his ear about renaming the Montreal Airport to something of which they approve and makes claim on Indigenous land. Indicate that it’s only right, due to the family Trudeau’s questionable lineage.
IOW …Play the same game. … and play it harder.
Yes. And if the new name can be pronounced on sight, or written without a computer keyboard, it ain’t traditional.
It will be really funny when the Muslims rename everything again, but what do I know, white colonist me?!
They will call everything Mohammed! Piece of cake, though perhaps a bit tough with Google Maps?
When is a local government going to get the moral conviction and bravery to put such name changes to a vote of the taxpayers who happen to pay for everything “indigenous” and otherwise? It’s just like capital punishment, they are afraid of what the people will want or in this case what they don’t want. Those words, which are unpronounceable in any language, were a recent creation of academia and as long as they bother the non-indigenous, the chiefs like them and in all likelihood have a good laugh about it when in the company of their own. The progressives are their bitches when they aren’t their useful idiots.
FILTHY LIBERALS
Real Indians, not “DOT” Indians don’t use that funky alphbet.
I saw a Truck that said “WAGONBURNER HAULAGE”.
Written in dastardly english!!
Why did no one push back after Queen Charlotte Islands.
Because everyone loved their new official anthem: “Haida Gwai that builds the boat, and Haida Gwai that sails her, Haida Gwai that catches the fish and fetches ’em home to Liza…”
