Whoopie! Engagement! That will raise this video's value in UA-cam's algorithm! And it will make this video appear in Google search results for Joseph Trutch, so thank you! As for Sir Joseph William Trutch, KCMG, Civil Engineer, Politician, First Lieutenant-Governor of BC, Prof. John Lutz, who chairs the history department at the University of Victoria, notes that "He wrote his parents shortly after arriving in Oregon from California, where active genocide against Indigenous people was underway, that the native people were 'the ugliest and laziest creatures I ever saw, and we should as soon think of being afraid of our dogs as of them.'" ' As Lieutenant-Governor of BC, Sir Joseph William Trutch stated, “I am satisfied from my own observation that the claims of Indians over tracts of land, on which they assume to exercise ownership, but of which they make no real use, operate very materially to prevent settlement and cultivation.” Professor Lutz notes that "Trutch knowingly revoked reserves already set aside for First Nations, reducing them in some cases to 10 per cent of the original." This video presentation uses Sir Joseph William Trutch as an example, because "British Columbia’s first lieutenant-governor, Joseph W. Trutch, has been questioned, and some are calling to remove his name from the streets that honour him in Victoria and Vancouver." (ibid.) Thank you for mentioning Sir Joseph William Trutch, the first Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia, so that people can more easily learn about the problems with representation in the naming of places in British Columbia, and something about British Columbia's unfortunate legacy or racism and genocide. I believe that learning about historical racism and genocide will help BC citizens behave more justly and fairly in the future. Professor Lutz's whole piece deserves a read..You can find it using your favourite web search engine:. See: Lutz, John.. "Joseph Trutch, B.C.’s first lieutenant-governor, left trail of controversy." Victoria Times-Colonist. June 27, 2018. Key words: Trutch, Joseph William; Racism; Genocide -- Canada; Genocide -- British Columbia; Vancouver -- History.
@@abilitytools As I understand it, Trutch, as an early colonial civil engineer, also knew exactly where various developments were to take place so he could buy land for a song before anyone else recognized its future value.
@imiddleman, there is a street called Saskatchewan Street in Vancouver, I walk down the streeet when going to physiotherapy. It may have not been around then, but it has been around for the last 5 to 10 years or so now.

Wasn't room for Saskatchewan street because its admission into Canada was too late? Alberta and Saskatchewan were created at the same date in 1905.
