So the City of Vancouver, Canada, just got super woke and changed the name of a street that was previously called "Trutch St," to...
Well, just watch the video, because I can't do this.
VIDEO AT LINK...........
Šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmsəm Street.
Apparently, it's pronounced "sh-MUS-quee-um-AW-sum," which in English translates to "Musqueamview," after the "Musqueam" people.
A Musqueam elder celebrated their little "decolonization win," saying:
It's a great feeling to actually see the name being changed, regardless of the political issue, just to see our language out in the public eye where people are living, it's a really, really heartlifting feeling. Our youth can see it, we can see it, that our language is finally out in the open rather than stifled.
Say it with us! Šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmsəm!
The reactions are what you'd expect:
@UnsureKris/X
🤣🤣🤣 Another diversity win for Canada!
bttt
“With that name, the locals will continue to call it Trutch St.”
I’ll bet the Indians are laughing up their sleeves at the stupid guilty white liberals.
