The decision to add the word "royal" to the Gaelic College's title betrays our collective history.

As the son of a MacKinnon from Cape Breton of Irish, Scottish and Acadian ancestry, I strongly oppose the addition of "Royal" to the Cape Breton Gaelic College.

The addition of "Royal" to Cape Breton Gaelic College was as incongruous as hair on top of your soup your soup

I have yet to hear of a single supposed benefit of this designation that would come close to outweighing the significant (and predictable) division and rancor it has left in its wake.

Thank you, ma'am, but it seems more fitting to leae the name Gaelic College, just as it is, without the word 'Royal".

"Royal" and "Gaelic" in the name is an oxymoron. Keep the Gaelic, discard "Royal."

Well done to these brilliant young Cape Bretoners who have initiated this petition!

I see no advantage to the designation "royal". The Gaelic College is an independent, Cape Breton institution, with no ties or connections to royalty.

With all the discussion, I have not seen a coherent explanation from the Gaelic College Board as to why the institution would want to be in any way associated with a singularly untalented family in the middle of London, England and a product of the House of Hanover and the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. What have these people ever done for the Gaelic world and the declared objectives of the Gaelic College?

My great-great grandfather and his four brothers were driven from their homes by the royals of England, no reference to the so-called royals should be allowed in Cape Breton.
