They should rename Powell River to an indigenous name and these “but we will forget history” settlers need to get out of the way.

It doesn’t even sound like it’s the issue. This is a bunch of old racists saying ‘no we aren’t, by we will say whatever we like!’

-a civil servant.

One name is as good as the next.

There's no reason to change. If you feel otherwise, let me change YOUR name and then we'll talk further.
