Written languages still in their infancy B.C.’s growing number of Indigenous languages’ place names printed alongside English signages in familiar sites presents a very real challenge for most of us.
Many people don’t even attempt to decipher the infrequently used symbols representing these places’ earlier references.
That famous old colonialist, William Churchill, would probably have referred to a situation such as this as a bit of “a riddle wrapped up in a conundrum.” Molière once said, “It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable.” In an economic system that worships money over morals, that admires scoundrels as much as skinflints, it’s not surprising to see such scandals.
But as the 2022 Report of the B.C. Climate Solutions Council notes: “There are not yet specific projections for how this reduction will be achieved.” 2030 is not far away. As Brent Toderian says, we need fewer cars, less driving, more inviting mobility options, and better communities and cities.For improvement, vote for change Re: “Accountability needed to deal with homeless and addiction challenges,” commentary, May 10.
I don’t know why or how that happened. I just know that a man driving a huge truck that is ill-suited to an urban environment didn’t stop at the curb while “parking” , and could have killed me had it not stopped mere centimetres ahead of the place where I was peacefully sitting down and enjoying a cup of tea.
At this time, they’re working on a case-by-case basis until they have a more formalized process in place.
