What’s In A Name?

Canada’s Bolsheviks We Are All Treaty People 26 Comments

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.

Because, hey, cooking is hard:

An exchange of views ensues. In which, Ms Taylor Lorenz, an “online culture journalist,” struggles with causality. Including the seemingly difficult concept that a heavy reliance on delivered takeaway, and the mindset that implies, may have some bearing on how little cash one has left at the end of the month.

You see, preparing a simple meal, even a packed lunch, is a physical impossibility for those deemed downtrodden.

As someone who could never stand Stephen Colbert’s overtly partisan, sanctimonious political cheerleading for more than a couple of seconds, I don’t think that any new void is being created by his departure; there was nothing but a void to begin with.

Among those sorry to see Colbert go is astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, a frequent guest. Johnny Carson used to book scientists, but Tyson notes wryly that not many TV hosts do these days.

Brehm saw Colbert make himself into a sort of moral authority and lean into the social justice camp of progressive Catholics: “He is playing up that moral quality by standing up for American moral values like freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and he’s doing it with a Catholic jargon, with Catholic language.”

That’s my prediction.

Worried about the impact on the news brand, CBC is pausing production of a “satirical” show that appears to have been attacking conservatives and Canadian institutions. Called Northland Tales, the show is being co-produced by CBC and APTN, though a statement from CBC went to great lengths to stress that it was CBC Entertainment and not CBC News behind the production.

After controversy erupted online about the production using fake names and false pretenses to get people, including retired Mounties, to agree to interviews, CBC has confirmed it is hitting pause while also defending this style of production.
