Wanted to give my quick 2 cents on this:
I'm not offended by the logo either, I don't think it was done with ill intentions.
That doesn't excuse the result. https://bc.ctvnews.ca/grand-chief-of-coast-salish-nation-says-he-s-not-offended-by-canucks-logo-1.5233048

The Canucks logo doesn't sit in the same stratosphere of issues that the R*dsk*ns logo and name, Cleveland, Chicago logo's, the Atlanta or Kansas City name.
But that doesn't make it a non-existent issue just because it's not as harmful.

Things can not be offensive but still require tweaking.
I'm not gonna lose sleep over the logo like I lose sleep over the everyday reminder of how much Residential schools and colonization nearly destroyed the many nations of this "country".

I think we need to understand that this logo could be so much better and represent the Northwest Coast so much better if it was done with proper indigenous inclusion and design.
You wanna boast about your relationship with Indigenous people? Then take your Indigenous "inspired" logo and make it properly indigenous with input and art from an indigenous artist. We're not your toy that you get to use for brownie points.
At the end of the day, if the Canucks don't change the logo or claim it's not culturally appropriating, I'll be disappointed and probably stop watching.
But just because it won't ruin MY day or month, doesn't mean it shouldn't be rectified or that it doesn't matter.

Stop telling indigenous people what cultural appropriation of our culture looks like and stop trying to pit us against each other by quote-tweeting other indigenous people to prove YOUR OWN opinion.
I respect other indigenous people's opinions as their own, don't weaponize them to prove your own point so you can tell me how I'm personally wrong about an indigenous issue.
