Toronto renaming Yonge-Dundas Square. Here's what the new name could be

Toronto City Council has approved a motion to rename Yonge-Dundas Square and to ask the TTC to rename two subway stations, while at the same time pausing the renaming process for Dundas Street itself.

toronto.ctvnews.ca

The decision to rename Dundas Street and other city property has been controversial.

The most recent estimate pegs the cost at somewhere between $11.3 and 12.7 million. So far the city has already spent $250,000 on the project, money some say would be better spent on bolstering city services rather than a symbolic gesture.

Very Well spent taxes money for a name change. I guess they got more money by asking ordinary people share their home with illegal immigrants

Olivia Chow的功劳？不明觉厉！

又张口就来

Council voted in 2021 to rename the street and associated assets following a renewed awareness around anti-Black racism in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

Dundas amended a 1792 resolution to gradually abolish the slave trade rather than doing so immediately. Some historians argue that he was a committed abolitionist who was doing his best to make sure that some version of the law passed. Others argue that his reasons were irrelevant.

CTV说Dundas当年把立即废除奴隶交易变成逐渐消除，虽然我支持他社会变革需要逐渐进行，但是说他反对奴隶交易不符合历史事实
