Juicy Bits: Show Us Your Regina Mar 23, 2023

Show notes

A rebranded tourism board in Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan province of Canada, is under fire for a new slogan that was supposedly “sexualising” the city.

As part of their rebranding efforts last week, Experience Regina, formerly Tourism Regina, introduced several new slogans including "Show us your Regina" and "The city that rhymes with fun" — which were criticised for being distasteful at the expense of women.

Juicy Bits: Why It's Now Called Eel Bay Mar 16, 2023

Show notes

The tiny community of Cape Negro in Shelburne County, Nova Scotia, was clearly overdue for a re-brand. The cape was named by the colonial explorer Samuel de Champlain, in 1604. Sailing around the coast naming everything he saw, he spied the black rocks and decided they looked like a person of African descent. The name stuck until 2023 when the community decided to change it's name to Eel Bay. We discuss the silly outrage that followed.
