New Westminster rebranding its colonial image

New Westminster is dropping its well-known moniker as the Royal City. It means a rebrand for B.C.'s first capital which, historically, has embraced its colonial past.

The colonialization has just begun. We haven’t seen anything yet.

That is how my tax money is spent and I got no say in all this. Next what? New Westminster appears to be a more obvious royal reference among tons of others.

This is disgusting.

[@junkboxxxxxx]

This is sad

[@ccjjohnstone3986]

It’s about time. I’ve been asking the city to drop the crown from its log for years. We’re the only city in the lower mainland that uses a colonial image as its logo

Canada should have severed its ties to the British monarchy a very long time ago. Anything in Canada named after members of the British monarchy should be changed immediately, including the province of Prince Edward Island, and any members of the British monarchy should also be removed from Canadian currency. Next.

What would Canadian culture be based on without it's British influence?
