They already have Pigeon Park down on East Hastings, what more do they want?

Odd, I thought my taxes are going towards "rent"? If this is true, then I am surely entitled to rename a piece of land I am renting to whatever the hell I want.

Screw the Indians they contribute almost nothing to Canada. Why should we change the name of the park for them?

It will always be Stanley Park to me.
Just like the Queen Charlote Islands will remain that.
Geez... am I soon going to be living in a re-named city that I have to learn how to pronounce and spell?

At least on the lighter side Strutz, the B.C. aboriginals are making a proposal for a name change. They haven't picked up that nasty Ontario habit of carrying guns, blocking roads, burning bridges and terrorizing people.

Uh, why why?

Give in to this sort of bullshit once and you end up giving into it forever. Considering the kind of leftist white-guilt mentality that seems to colour almost all Vancouver politics it's probably already a fait accompli in favour of the natives and the new signs for the park will probably be installed before too long.

Bratislava, in Slovakia, used to have 3 names.
Preßburg -- German
Pozsony -- Hungarian
Bratislava -- Slovak
Trnava used to be called Nagyszombat
Tyrnau in German
Tyrnavia in Latin
all completely different languages, name changed according to who was in charge at the time.
So who is in charge in Vancouver ?

It's obvious you have never heard of the Gustafsen Lake standoff or the Duffy lake roadblock.

Ure creek blockade

A bunch of pussies who bow before the altar of political correctness and, at the same time, fart in the faces of the ordinary citizen. But I'm sure everyone knows that already.
