Dundas Street renaming chatter renewed after Toronto sees how Scotland handled it Toronto DundasStreet
, while other suggestions included simply changing one letter to make it Dondas Street, naming it after a far more deserving historical figure, or changing it to"The Restless" so we could have Yonge & The Restless Square.
Instead of changing the affiliation of the monument, though, the city has decided to add a new plaque that will explain the figure's"history, his impact on society and to acknowledge his role in delaying the abolition of the slave trade," as detailed on a sign at the monument, a picture of which was"Scotland opts for plaques instead of renaming Dundas namesakes like Toronto plans," the original poster wrote with the photo, which has garnered more than 1.
As one commenter said,"I like Scotland's decision. It's vastly cheaper while remaining informative and truthful about history rather than just making it disappear." The best thing to do is keep the street name Dundas and simply not teach kids who this bad Mr. Dundas was. I never knew it was even named after a person. $6m could go towards lower income neighborhoods and actually accomplish somethingStill others think an even better idea would be to choose another person with the Dundas name to attach to the street — a"good Dundas" versus the old one, which would serve as an apt "eff you" to ol' Henry.
