Although, I somehow don't think this will be the end of their crusade. I can see a court challenge and barring that we'll be back at square one when next millenium a non Conservative Federal Government gets elected.
I think their only concern is that if they change the name of Stanley Park, they would then want to change the name of the Stanley Cup....
And they probably would. They've already changed all of the division names, why not the cup too?

If they did that they'd have to stop drinking Champagne out of the Cup and switch to Lucky Lager.
Finally some sanity when dealing with Natives.

That's because the next headline will read:
"Stanley Park name to remain unchanged,
(natives) launch $50 billion lawsuit for hurt feelings"
It's always funny until it becomes true.
It's been a park for that long?
Unfortunately I agree with Freakinoldguy... a court challenge is coming. But why NOW? Why has the name been perfectly peachy with everyone until NOW? Petty cash running low perhaps? Nothing else to go after?

In this day and age your hypothisis is the sad truth.
If the name change dies down, expect it to resurface when a new majority government is voted in. If not, we'll see a court challenge coming. My suspicion is they want the name change to go over so it can be used to some ends. Maybe a land claim?

I've heard a couple of people now suggest that they see that as a real possibility. I hope this all just dies down and we carry on, but we'll see.
Before Stanley Park
That's great. It's called 'Stanley Park'.
Calling something XwayXway would lead us in the States to ask what the X stands for in the name. Stanley PArk makes a hell a lot more sense.
I wonder what they would like to change the name of the Federal Capital Ottawa to?
