What's the issue here? Are they not State parks?
State parks in a country with no states?
Your country is a State
But these parks are run by the provinces, not the Canadian government. The only parks in Canada that could be called "state parks" would be those run by Parks Canada.
Fucking chud. Stop being an ignorant pedant.
It's not. Never was, never will.
you misunderstood what they meant.
all countries are states. a state is an entity, some states band together into a federation of some sort. some are unitary, some are not. unitary means the same laws apply in all places, others have regional autonomy.
canada is a state, with subdivisions that it calls provinces america is a state, with subidivisions that it calls states russia is a mafia pretending to be a state, that has oblasts and others
That comment was "we aren't going to become the 51st"
Someone doesn't know English. Or are you saying that you dont have sovereignty?
You know what you said, we know what your goal is. Let's not confuse the multiple meanings of the word "state" here.
How are you this ignorant of current events?
We don't have states. They would be provincial, territorial or national.
Do you know the definition of State? The government of Canada is a sovereign State.
Donโt be obtuse.
Seriously, that's not how that works, and it's not how Canada has them listed.
Ask yourself "why is Google doing this now?", "who asked for this change?" and "what does Google gain from this change?".
What seems most likely to me is that some of these had the State Park category on Google Maps for a long time, and now it's being noticed. They say the "Provincial Park" category was removed, which implies it used to be an option.
There's a bit of variation between types of park, even found a provincial park that is labeled both national park and just park, depending on where in the UI you find it.
Images contained in spoiler tag:
Labeling was probably never reliably strictly correct, but removing Provincial Park as a category is a little hostile, considering the timing. (Assuming it used to be an option, and Samantha in the video isn't entirely mistaken.)
...actually, this is at the bottom of the article:
It doesn't make much sense to remove "Provincial Park" when there are so many specific variations when you go further down to regional, municipal, city, community, etc. parks and they have a bunch of very specific (and often unrelated) park categories. Here are a few that are near me:
