I think there was a proposal floated with the idea of a new name in Chinook, “Illaheechuck”, but it failed to - as you say - get buy in from the public at large. I like the idea of a name in Chinook, though - what better bridge between native and settler than the language they mutually created?
I’m just curious, could you expand on what the rules are pertaining to this subject here? This is the first I’ve heard of it, since the Rules on the sidebar don’t mention it.
“If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing.”
I know here in BC the Labour ministry has job centres called “WorkBC” that not only help with resumes and job searches, but actually have dedicated classes specifically for newcomers from Ukraine.
P.S. Welcome! We’re glad to have you, and I hope everything works out without too much trouble :)
They’re just going to blame it on the Ukrainians, and/or “the collective west” to muddy the waters
It’s genuinely great to hear that that wasn’t the overall goal or intention of the idea.
That said, I think it also does need to be acknowledged that there absolutely were prominent influencers on social media who preached HAES literally - as in, posting videos vehemently declaring the doctors are lying to you and obesity is actually perfectly healthy.
I guess as with many other things, it’s a case of the extreme outliers (who in this case, as you say, didn’t even get the point) getting the most attention and spoiling things for the sane people.
