Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but ... you know most people will still call it Patullo bridge. And the Massey Tunnel ... Massey Tunnel. Who the hell can pronounce this and spell it on paper ??!!

New Pattullo Bridge to be renamed with new First Nations name in the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ language

Look, we renamed the Queen Charlotte Islands not too long ago to Haida Gwaii. AFAIK everyone says that name without any issue now and rarely hear the old name anymore.

Why all of a sudden we are using IPA alphabet no one uses and is unpronounceable to 99.999% of the population?

I will admit to feeling uncomfortable with the use of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ language for naming these things but I bet in 20 years it's a nothing burger. Like when land acknowledgements became a thing I had no idea how to say the names of the First Nations in those acknowledgements but I can do it now with a little bit of practice and it's a non-issue for me.

Eventually certain streets will be called by their Chinese names (or Japanese names) to recognise those cultures and their contribution to BC. I look forward to the whiteys saying "Pook Guy Crescent" and "Ding Lei Gou Fei Avenue".

According to the article, you are reacting to something that doesn't yet exist

Quote:

While the new name has not yet been announced, further details are expected later this year.
For a comparison, X̱aaydag̱a Gwaay.yaay is spelled in English as Haida Gwaii, and I don't think anyone has issues saying or spelling that.

westopher 07-07-2025 04:04 PM

I have no issue with the renaming, but the fact it costs money, and so much of it bothers me. Maybe let’s put that money aside to getting that clean drinking water on reserves first?

Hondaracer 07-07-2025 04:07 PM

Nah

Spend 100k to create a name only 4 people are proficient in, that’s more important

Fuck all this native bullshit. Bunch of stupid retards. Half these idiots can’t even pronounce / read / write their own bullshit language. Why do we have to go along with it ?!?!? If you change my street to sueehsiishwsjsund I’m going deface it to chug row.

I blame you whites for not finishing them off. Yerrr too soft. If only your lame ass grandfathers used more smallpox blankets this would have never happened. Weak ass. Bring back residential schools.

It almost makes more sense that some sort of UFO shit is going on and our leaders all basically answer to some sort of higher coordinated intelligence and all of the political shit we're all fighting over is to keep the status quo kicking the can down the road. Honestly... who here isn't kind of impressed by how efficient the system is?

I'm so poor... for the last 3-4 years I've had less than $1000 available in life at any moment. Like literally surviving on hand-outs and soup kitchens. But... for the most part, life was still really enjoyable. Man, I saw so much good TV, my kid and I enjoyed Five Nights at Freddy's and so many good music videos and games, and cartooons... Most of the most enjoyable things in life was pretty cheap.

If you looked at modern western society at this point and evaluated it honestly like "how in control things actually are" I'd say that whoever is in control has truly figured out the SOMA formula. Other than crackheads, 99% of people are actually chill and you can 100% guess exactly what people will say and think.

Shit is running so smooth(other than street crimelord crackheads) leading up to 2026. Am I the only one who thinks this way?*

*I believe that having and raising a daughter has had a massive positive influence on my happiness level, if I didn't have my family, things would probably be more bleak

Harvey Specter 07-07-2025 05:39 PM

Remember, the leaders on the right that some of you idolize are no different from the ones on the left. At the top, they're all part of the same machine. We're nothing but pawns in a game we didn't sign up for. The illusion of choice is just that, an illusion. They decide who we’re supposed to hate this week, who gets cancelled, which group becomes the scapegoat, and who’s allowed to cross the border. Left or right, red or blue. it’s all theatre to keep us divided and distracted while the real power brokers continue pulling the strings in the background.

Ask yourself: when was the last time yourr vote actually changed anything meaningful? The same policies, the same wars, the same corporate handouts all repackaged with different slogans and faces. If you still believe one side is fighting for you, maybe its time to zoom out and realize the whole system is rigged.

And here's a perfect example of a far-right leader who says one thing but does another. And guess which country they're targeting for the 500,000 immigrants?

Quote:

She made curbing migration a keystone of her successful 2022 election campaign. Now, the government of hard-right Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has agreed to let almost 500,000 documented immigrants enter Italy over the next three years. Her cabinet has announced that it will be issuing work visas for nearly half a million non-EU nationals between 2026 and 2028.

Harvey Specter 07-07-2025 05:43 PM

And btw, Reform UK which is the far-right party leading in the polls, was bankrolled by a British born Muslim of Sri Lankan descent. In Germany, the far right AfD is led by Alice Weidel, a Chinese speaking economist, who’s also a lesbian married to a Sri Lankan.

And people still think this isn’t all just theatre? Who's playing who?

Your conviviality is overwhelming. You are so upset someone has a different view than you.

Absolutely love this for you btw!!!

Bro.

Cheers,

westopher 07-07-2025 05:53 PM

No, lots of people have different views than me. You, specifically, are a fucking moron. Or at least convey that in your interactions on here. Maybe you aren’t like that in person.
It doesn’t really upset me. I just get second hand embarrassment reading your posts.

Listen brah, maybe instead of childishly insulting me you can actually address the points I make in my posts.

By the way, you need to work on your writing skills. After all, effective writing is an index to meaningful communication.

Cheers,

westopher 07-07-2025 06:14 PM

I’m not interested in meaningful communication with you, if you haven’t noticed. It won’t be reciprocated, so there isn’t really a point.

But going to a foreign country and giving everything English names is OK?

The only reason why only 4 people are proficient in it is because they literally beat the native out of kids.

Jason Henry, who holds a commercial (Class A) driver's license, said he went for the 5-year renewal last week at the Ontario Drive Test centre in Sarnia. When asked what language he preferred, he said he gave his usual answer.

"English, unless you can offer me Ojibwe," Henry said. The clerk's response was a total shock.

"My jaw nearly hit the counter. Out of principle, my entire life, I've always asked for Ojibwe. I've never gotten that offer anywhere until Monday."

Seems like a pretty easy service to offer since the written test answers are done on a scantron anyways. So, who cares what language the written test is as long as they pass. It is the actual driving test that matters.

If you behave and have normal interactions with people, don’t constantly insult people with degrees that you don’t deem valuable enough, you’ll hear from me.:hi:

Well in the US you now need to proficient in English to drive a truck. It's also not easy when so few know the language.

What relevancy does that have to do with the Ontario driver's test?
