Mayor Olivia Chow is standing by a plan to rename Dundas Street, even as one councillor who voted in favour of the project claims there’s no money for it.
Chow’s office confirmed last week she supports council’s 2021 decision to find a new designation for the major thoroughfare, which was named after an 18th-century Scottish politician who some historians blame for delaying the abolition of the slave trade.
Critics counter there’s no clear evidence Henry Dundas was responsible for prolonging the slave trade, and that the resources required to remove his name from the 23-kilometre street would be better spent on other priorities. The city’s most recent estimate for the project is $8.6 million.
Chow is just a race baiting commie.
