Why can’t this province just be Canadian? Re: “Changing that name means rewriting history,” letter, Feb. 23.
History written by whom? Not by Indigenous people, who have been on these lands for thousands of years before the explorers, settlers and colonizers came.
The colonial rule in our province was for a minuscule 13 years, yet some still insist our province remain “British” to this day. A name change is not rewriting history, but having a correct name for our province. Their behaviour over the years in the house is deplorable. If anyone in a public company behaved in the manner that these people do they would be fired on the spot.This behaviour is not unique to the B.C. legislature — just look at Ottawa, London, or Washington D.C.Company is coming, let’s spruce up the place In just a few months the first cruise ship of the season will arrive at Ogden Point.
With many downtown businesses having to board up their windows after an attack, maybe local artist Paul Archer will paint each one like his window on Fort Street. We spend our money in Oak Bay, Saanich, Esquimalt and even Langford; they want our money and don’t care if we drive a car. Yes, these “pandemios” look like cattle pens. Yes, they are unsightly along the streetscapes. Yes, many of these temporary structures are now sprouting windows and roofs, further adding to their permanency while detracting customers from neighbouring businesses.
I suppose I will just have to die of colon cancer and in the meantime suffer with sciatica and leave it at that.
