I am a proud Canadian that feels disgraced that we as a civilized, educated nation of varying backgrounds would still be degraded by the use of this trash. As to black history there are names, places and events that should be honoured not forgotten. This has to end.

I may be a Canadian of European descent (i.e. white), but I deeply agree with this petition -- out of love and respect for our fellow citizens of African descent. Thank you, Ms. Zellars, for this initiative!

It is absolutely shameful that anyone would attempt to justify and defend using the N word in any circumstance. Have we not evolved as a nation? Would we leave a swastika on a street sign? Certainly not! It's time to inject some common sense into this egregious situation and show some overdue respect towards the African Canadian community, for turning a blind eye to these sites that contain the term "nigger" in their official provincial name.
