Renaming to Pincher Creek or Cardston
Pincher Creek (pop: 3,625) is bigger than Fort Macleod (pop: 3,072); does anybody oppose/support this graticule being renamed to Pincher Creek? Alternatively, Cardston, with a population of 3,452, stands out in my mind as being a more remarkable place in the area. Either way, since it's spelt Fort Macleod and not MacLeod, it should be renamed. - Elbie 05:18, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
