I don't want to do a thread hijack (mods feel free to delete) but there are only 10 corporations in the world that control everything you eat and its all laced with sugar and HFCS with the fiber removed so it can sit on a shelf for years. I think you have every right to be angry at these companies

Hmm interesting, but I think people have more of a choice over what they buy as food, say vrs a city's decision on how to spend our tax dollars.

I totally agree with your last post, I rather the money be spent on helping those actually in need.

Fine. What are we looking at for a little SORRY! (bonus: very Canadian) sign clipped on the the bottom of the existing street signs, and not giving Decco the contract?

Six million my ass. Council voted to proceed. On to public consultation. New name to be chosen in April 2022. All civic properties referencing Dundas to be renamed. The true cost of this stupidity is probably between one and two orders of magnitude more than what they are throwing around (govt plus private expenses required to accommodate this pandering).

Dundas name to be removed from Toronto streets, other public amenities

Dundas Street as well as other public amenities bearing the name will be renamed after Toronto city council voted 17-7 to move forward with public consultation on a new name.

Curious what the village of Dundas is going to do about this.

Wait. It's amalgamated with The People's Republic of Hamilton now. The Orange Commies on city council will force it to be renamed Rainbows and Unicorns Village.

I’m ESL myself, so I‘m officially allowed to make fun of your English. But native English speakers are not allowed to do that. That’s how it works nowadays, right?

Too many triggers to keep up with so who knows. Everyone is upset over something.

Interesting article about Dundas. He was not saint. But I still think it’s silly to rename streets, towns, and anything else because of past wrongs 4-5 generations ago.

Henry Dundas, empire and genocide

Suggesting that ‘the uncrowned King of Scotland’ worked to end slavery, rather to entrench it, is irresponsible revisionism and bad history.

I'm not surprised by anything City of Toronto Council does, or in most cases fails to do. A change this big with ramifications to others should go to a referendum because it directly impacts taxpayers who own properties or operate businesses along Dundas Streets East and West. The cost of this insanity will be far beyond the $6M estimate, and that doesn't include the cost to private individuals. The entire Council has lost it's collective mind and should be recalled!
