The name of Canada's highest peak, Mount Logan in southern Yukon, has not changed. In October 2000, then Prime Minister Jean Chretien announced that the mountain would be renamed in honour of former PM Pierre Elliot Trudeau, who had recently passed away. However, the proposal was dropped within a few weeks in response to a strong negative public reaction. Eventually, Trudeau's name was adopted for an unnamed peak in the Cariboo Mountains of British Columbia.
