Yukon's political party leaders all say they want to remove an offensive word from four official place names in the territory. Yukon Party Leader Currie Dixon, Liberal Leader Sandy Silver, and NDP Leader Kate White all say that if elected, they will do what they can to help make the change. The Yukon government's gazetteer lists four place names that contain the word: two places referred to as S***w Creek, S***w Range, and S***w Point.
