Toronto will be renaming the Dundas Street because ... well, you know, SJWs and stuff.
What surprised me the most is the reddit.com/r/Toronto/ is actually opposed to the idea and thinks it's a waste of money. I like one person's idea of renaming the street after Hugh Dundas instead of Henry Dundas.

"Inclusion" is such a ridiculous trope. You know who the street name "Dundas" isn't inclusive of? Literally everyone except people named Dundas. Nobody is being fucking discriminated against by that street's name.
You want to change it to honour someone or some thing then fine, but be honest about it. Don't act like people are being oppressed by the current street name because they aren't.
Hugh Dundas is still white. It'll only be a couple of years before they dig up something racist on him and they're back at square one.
Only $10 million dollars as estimated. Plus the precedent of costly changes anytime some militant snowflake feels oppressed. Far better than providing affordable housing, improving a transit system, libraries, education, parks, or bringing jobs to Toronto.
Spoiler: it will be far more than 10 million. And even worse, it will set a precedent for a never-ending stream of changes.
Joseph Philippe Pierre Yves Elliott Trudeau supported residential schools. Time to go after his legacy as well as his son.
It should be renamed Martin Luther King Boulevard.
Canada Post should forward the bill to City Hall, lol.
