Canadian hamlet having second thoughts about ’Land of Rape and Honey’ slogan

A hamlet of 3,200 people on the Canadian prairie is reassessing its handle after 55 years of complaints.

Their moniker has been displayed proudly at entrances to the town, "Welcome to Tisdale - Land of Rape and Honey", since 1960 and some residents think it is time to update it.

However, there are many who are proud to call their town the rape capital of Canada, which comes from the fact that fields of rapeseed - a mustard-like plant - surround Tisdale for hundreds of kilometres.
