Should Victoria Day be renamed “Victoria and First Peoples Day”?

A group of prominent Canadians such as Margaret Atwood, Gordon Pinsent and Elizabeth May has called upon Prime Minister Stephen Harper to change the name of Victoria Day to "Victoria and First Peoples Day."

This group of well-known Canadian authors, actors and politicians is behind an online petition that seeks to rename the public holiday in order to honour the indigenous peoples of Canada along with the Crown.

"I know there is a great deal of monarchists in this country but I think also that there is also an awful lot of talk about how First Nations people, Inuit people, indigenous people in this country are being treated," actor Peter Keleghan shared with The Canadian Press.

Keleghan makes a decent point, so we took this to the street to see what Canadians think on the matter.
