>canada is now renaming streets in honor of "decolonization"
>we get such wonderful names as "šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm" street
>wont ever get you killed when you need to call 911 for an emergency or need to give directions to somebody

Just fucking end us bros. Canada is over. The people in charge here are willingling and knowingly destroying the country, bit by bit. Death by a thousand cuts, until its gone.

It'll catch on, it's pronounced 'Musqueamview', and I doubt this will be the only street named in this fashion going forward.
The real problem is that they didn't consult enough with all of the First Nations from the area. Squamish Nation, as an example, is NOT happy.

“It is imperative that the city engage with the Squamish Nation on changes happening on our territory. The street in question is next to our ancestral village of Sen̓áḵw,” the Squamish council wrote. “Proceeding with this name change in collaboration solely with Musqueam disregards the well-established and enduring connection the Squamish Nation has to this area.”

>Langton is nervous about real-world implications of making šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm the street’s sole legal name, because many people can’t pronounce it, and it can’t be spelled by many systems, including Canada Post and Service Canada.
