Sankofa Square

So much more wasteful than say paying $500 million for a parking lot.
I can see why so many people are triggered.
Hello "Mr. Accuses Everyone About Whataboutism" nice of you to join this conversation.
 
I'm just putting the price in scale.
As civic expenditures go, its not that big.
10 cents is too big for wasting it on something like this.
But on the bright side, Toronto is not broke after all so we can all drop that narrative.

I thought it was to be Gordon Lightfoot Square.
No, no, no...that doesn't set off enough virtue signals...and he was a white guy that should be shamed. His contributions to Canadian culture should take a back seat to things like countries the average person can't point out on a map.

I feel like I just witnessed a lynching. Toronto City Council decided tonight to remove Henry Dundas's name from four locations in the city, starting with Yonge Dundas Square. Two subway stations with the name Dundas and a library will soon follow. Renaming all of Dundas Street is on hold, for now.
And Torontonians wonder why the city is a mess. We need to get rid of this groupthink council.

You can relive the glory days in your own privacy mitch.
TMI.
 
Like any joke, if you have to explain it it's a bad joke. Same with an odd name like this.

Simcoe Square as simplicity and rolling off the tongue would have worked. As well I have no doubt as a dozen other names. Former Mayors, prominent builders of the city.

This one is just so weak, and obscure with no relevance to the city.

Simcoe Square certainly makes sense since as we already have so many things named after him.
 
This city council can't do anything right. There will be years (and there will be countless dollars) trying to explain how the name has anything to do with Toronto, it will fail to draw tourists or Torontonians (who will see it for what it is - a disembodied monument to virtue signalling), and then the renaming process will start all over again.

Grow a backbone Torontonians. Fire your incompetent councillors.
I'm on board but how
 
Sorry, but Wakanda already has a Toronto Square.

Rob Ford Square has a nice ring to it. He had a lot in common with those who hang out there!
How to be clear ... I disagree with ford having such a name on something Pre-existing. But it's his name on dundus square Actually has something to do with Toronto history. And Canadian. Dundas nothing wrong with it. But this name is an insult.
Dougie square will be best. We can have it after the McKenzie brother and fotd at the same time. matches the beer


Apparently they have to rename young street and many others ... Final cost Billions of dollars.

Yes Not even the price of one ship..Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier cost 12.9 billion. Enough to Change most of the street names in Toronto.
Only 1 ship.

However Overall budgets do matter. Apples and oranges
 
A square specifically for Skoob, Mitch and the rest of the Canadian MAGA snowflake brigade to whine, bellyache and cry the cupcake blues:

Triggered Squared.

Within this Canadian MAGA fantasy land of Triggered Squared, the snowflake brigade would have:

1) Soil Your Diapers gutters
2) Whine tasting tables
3) Crotchet your very own rainbow snowflakes craft corner
4) Cupcake baking bazaars
5) And of course, an endless supply of Kleenex and toilet paper
 
Talk about hypocrisy, I'd never heard the word Sankofa before.

Looked it up it's a Ghanaian word meaning to shit upon.;) Ghana was the centerpoint of the West African slave trade. That's how it managed to keep it's independence while the French and British were parsing the rest of West Africa for themselves. That changed when Lincoln outlawed slavery, Ghana became a British Colony in 1874.

This makes our city a certified laughing stock. What's wrong with remaining Yonge and Dundas, Neil Peart Square.

When everyone wonders what's wrong with the world today, they don't have to look beyond your posts to find the answer.
ps Thanks for letting us live in your head rent-free.

Keep in mind FF's hypocrisy is legendary. If it was a conservative who spent 2 cents wastefully, you would be sifting through 3000 posts of him crying foul, calling you a racist and a climate change denier.
As long as nothing threatens his monthly government assistance cheque he's happy.
Your time is better spent teaching nuclear physics to kids on the short bus.

Forewarned is forearmed.

Spending a million to make people feel more included is worthwhile in a city this large.

a It's worth the deaths of hundreds? What about them they are inclusion.
B. how many people Fillmore included because of this? 4?
c It's a false premise it doesn't do what it says it does. Supporting racism for $1,000,000 does the opposite. homophobia name vs anti slavery name. good trade for the kkk

You mean "included" like living on a Toronto street? That kind of "included"?

Here's a question...how far would $1 million go to help a homeless person?
