Street Name Changes, Overdue

[dewline]

Three streets needing a name change in Ottawa:

- Dundas St. in Vanier
- Langevin Ave. in the Beechwood Corridor
- Trump Ave. in Central Park

All three are side-streets. This shouldn't still be an issue.

(The first namesake delayed the end of slavery in Canada. The second helped organize the worldview behind the "Residential Schools" across Canada. We already know who the last one's named for. It sits in a neighbourhood full of street names taken from the history of New York State.)

All too many Dundas street names here too- he was an appalling scumbag!

[dewline]

Yes. He really was.

As a temporary fix, perhaps we can append another sign below the current street signs, adding "was an appalling scumbag".

I can see certain members of Toronto City Council going for that. Not Mayor John Tory, though.

Trump Avenue? Good good.
