Yes this. Trump was happy to rename Ontario, the name the lake has held for centuries, even before Europeans arrived. There is a reason Canadas First Nations are deeply pro crown, republican Quebec or Alberta would follow America in replacing all things indigenous with their white alternatives.

    Canadas First Nations are deeply pro crown

    This is a dangerous falsehood. Indigenous ppl get audiences with the crown because their treaties are with the crown, and not with the Federation Government. They are absolutely NOT "pro-crown".

    You should no longer say that.

    Thanks for the important distinction. If forced politically to choose between the crown and republicanism these communities are consistently choosing the crown, is all I mean.

    Oh fuck off. If anyone knows the value of preserving a language is Quebec.
