message: to move, apparently. 
This is to propose that this article be renamed to Brantford. This is clearly primary usage within Canada. When searching the U.S. Gazetteer  for "Brantford", only 2 entries for "Brantford Township" are returned (one in KS, the other in SD, neither has a 1990 population of more than 158). UK Ordnance survey doesn't seem to have a Brantford  and neither does any Brantford appear on the UK Coal Authority's gazetteer. Google on "brantford -ontario" seems to return only  Brantford, Ontario related items anyway. Seems Brantford is overwhelmingly WP:PRIMARYUSAGE and simplification should not pose any ambiguation problem. Dl2000 (talk) 02:28, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: A Google search of plain "Brantford" returns results overwhelmingly related to the Ontario city.  Clearly the primary usage of the name, and the move is consistent with the applicable naming convention at WP:CANSTYLE. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 13:07, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The page was moved by another editor shortly after this discussion was initiated.  Although the normal practice is to allow a discussion to play out, except perhaps in cases of WP:SNOW, nobody has come out of the woodwork since the move to object either to the proposal or the pre-emptive move.  So, I guess we can assume that the move was uncontested and uncontroversial. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 17:26, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I haven't been adding the demographics section over the last week or so, but is there any reason why it can't stay? I see it's been reverted several times.... Ahsile (talk) 15:08, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see any reason why it can't stay. The problem with the previous edits was that the editor was spamming his website across many articles. I'll add the section back and link to the original Statscan source data. --NormanEinstein (talk) 14:44, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds good. Statscan info is a more reliable source than a third party site. Ahsile (talk) 13:42, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello Brantfordians - I found the article for King George VI Secondary School today, which is in rough shape.  The problem is that I cannot find any information about the school; no address, no website, nothing.  Does the school exist?  Can some of you please update the article?  Thanks, PKT(alk) 17:11, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

message: A lot of information, including entire sections, is not given a source. I've added some sources and will continue to do, but the entire article needs work, especially the lead, the history section, and the economy section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brandon1930 (talk • contribs) 11:33, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

message: It's part of Brant's history true, it's simply given too much prominence in the lead. It did not define Brant and I would not characterize him as a trader, more simply a slave owner. He was also a soldier and farmer. Not mentioned, so it is a bit of cherry-picking to put slave trader first. Alaney2k (talk) 13:05, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  First, I think you are one of the best editors about Canadian topics on Wikipedia.  Regarding Brant, it just seems everything written about him in recent years is about his slave ownership, see .  In these days of Biden and Trudeau, what seems obvious is that the notable qualities of historic figures is fluid. Look at John A. for example.  I understand Canadians at one time viewed him as the builder of the CPR and a hero.  Now you're tearing his statues down.  Brant owned 40 slaves, and was probably Canada's largest owner of African slaves.  That's way more notable than being a military hero, no? Magnolia677 (talk) 14:09, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  You're correct, I'm not.  Major slave owner, minor slave trader. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:52, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

message: After reading the Lord Mayor article, it seems there is a discrepancy, as apparently Walter Gretzky was named the Lord Mayor of Brantford. Please read PDF for more information. Cltjames (talk) 20:45, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
