#RenameBC - Twitter Hashtag

over 2 years ago

@CanadianPolling The idea to #renameBC would cost billions as every legal document, name, sign & agency would need to be changed … a mountain of trouble that would lead nowhere! #BCpoli

@UskiVal @Jacquie90168977 The whole BC name is satire-level colonial. And even if we renamed it, it would just be lipstick on a stifling little colony with a colonial mentality. I often think of the suggestions in Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun's #RenameBC contest at @MOA_UBC (still laughing at some of them)

@SeanCarleton @derrickokeefe I propose #BountifulCascadia! Keeping the initials the same would save effort & $$ as the provincial name isn’t written out in full on some signs & documents - also hope more places are renamed according to their indigenous names (eg. #Siwash to #Slhx̱í7lsh) #BCpoli #RenameBC

There's a new article in @TheTyee today about renaming #BritishColumbia. Maybe it will actually happen this time? Lots of important work on this topic happened about four years ago with Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun's #RenameBC project.

@Crof @TheTyee Excellent idea, although not new. Well known First Nations artist, Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun was onto this earlier with his brilliant #RenameBC. (https://t.co/uta55MeJEH) Perfect time for a post-colonial re-naming of our province.
