Change Kitchener's name back to Berlin?

[panamaniac]

That's a very interesting piece in the Globe and Mail, although the "revival" seems limited to a couple of business names that make the historical reference.  We're unlikely to see active, official efforts to revive local German identity - e.g. Carl Zehr Square could have been named Carl Zehr Platz, but that would likely have raised eyebrows.  As a bonus, that would have avoided the weird "Zehr Square" rhyme!  

At least the centennial of the name change has raised awareness of what to me would be one of the three seminal events of our unique local history, along with the original Mennonite settlement and the founding of University of Waterloo.
