A pair of Toronto activists have launched a fresh bid to convince city hall to keep Henry Dundas’s name on city landmarks, saying the long-dead Scottish politician is not a villain and should not be treated as one.
Daniel Tate and Jonny Pottins’ petition to keep the Dundas name was launched after city council approved Sankofa, an African word that alludes to making peace with the past, as the new name for Yonge-Dundas Square. It has gathered nearly 20,000 signatures.
Sankofa means shit for brains.
