Half of young adults support the idea of changing British Columbia’s name to reflect the province’s Indigenous heritage, according to a new survey.
Better idea: Keep the name for B.C., but establish Native communities with their own substantial land bases and constitutionally-entrenched governments that they can name whatever the hell they want.
That way non-Native B.C.ers' heritage and identity aren't attacked, while the Native calls for things like land restoration and recognition of governance rights are fulfilled.
Are you kidding me?
Sadly, no.

Everybody wins.
