A woke city council is looking to spend millions of tax payer dollars on renaming names of streets nobody knows the origins of because some people with too much time on their hands looked up some of the names and have decided they weren't sufficiently woke.

Im not sure which is worse, the fact that people think this is worth throwing millions of dollars at for a supposedly woke cause while achieving nothing of value or that my tax dollars are paying the salaries of the grossly overpaid and under achieving neandrethals in city council that were deliberating this nonsense to begin with.

Reminder that taxes are still theft

Ridding Toronto of the Dundas name will cost an estimated $5.1 million to $6.3 million. Costs include renaming Yonge-Dundas Square, two subway stations and all related signage, the report noted.

The city also plans to make room in its budget to support people and businesses affected by the change.

Nobody knows the origin, yet one you provided as an example is named after a dude with ties to slavery and 14k people signed the petition to rename it.

Lol, people care what the name of the road is? That's some next level thinking..

china builds trains that can go 600 kmh, the states spend time, energy and millions of bucks to rename streets

game over

Nobody gives a fuck about trains, Americans hate mass transit because its for poor people. We have our own cars and plane tickets are like 100 bucks.

I and most people living in this city had no idea who this guy was and didn't care till this story entered my feed through r toronto

?? the article the op is about taxpayer spending in a city in Canada..unreal how illiterate you are. lay off the sauce too

Having a street named after is supposed to be an honor i mean you don't wanna have a street named after some cunt do you? 14k signed the petition to have it renamed so why is the council is supposed to say no? Because you don't care? Also 6 mil is literal noting for a metro like Toronto.

Who gives a fuck, it's Toronto. You can just level it out into a parking lot and it'll be infinitely more attractive as a tourist destination.
