Change Kitchener's name back to Berlin?

[panamaniac]

1. It would be much better to wait for Waterloo to come to its senses and name the newly amalgamated city "Waterloo".   Perhaps in time for the bicentennial in 2116.....
   

Agreed it is time to have a real discussion about joining the two cities however, the name Waterloo is not an acceptable alternative. Waterloo is captured in the Regions name.   A unified city requires a separate identity from the name of the Region. As a resident of Kitchener I find it bothersome that everyone outside of our region thinks everything is Waterloo. 

Just my two cents worth

The ball on amalgamation is and should remain, imo, in Waterloo's court.  Nothing good could come of trying to pressure the city for something it's residents have so recently indicated they are not willing to contemplate.
