Toronto to waste +6 Mill Renaming Dundas street.
- Thread starter CriticalCore
- Start date
That's how they became famous enough to get streets named after them. If I'm willing to use slaves and kill people to get ahead and you're not, guess who has more money and is more powerful?
I can't tell if you're saying this sarcastically or not because it can be seen both ways; might is right. Always has been and always will be.
I'm not sure if it was sarcasm or not either. It's not wrong. We are spending millions to rename old streets while continuing to name new streets after current (or recently dead) rich/powerful people. Guess what happens not that far in the future? By continuing the same process, gov't proves it is incompetent. Before you spend a cent renaming anything, immediately prohibit all new street names from being peoples names or you are left with an infinite amount of waste. Stick with trees/bugs/numbers/etc that people have trouble being offended by.
People can be offended with literally anything.
Maple St. - oh, it's a symbol of government oppression! I'm offended!
Poplar St. - oh, I'm offended that they named my street after some dumba** tree that sh1ts with white sh1t and not after our national maple tree!
Wasp Lane?
Well, if it was a new development in the GTHA, the chance that the majority of the population would fit the acronym is almost zero.
There will never be an end to this waste of money. There needs to be real leadership to end this madness. Either erase all street names and go with numbers (I think this was a stupid idea for TTC but they did it anyway) or stop renaming streets and place a plaque that tells the story.
The Angel of Death? Say it ain't so.
I'm offended if Ms. Teresa doesn't offend you
... she was a piece of work....
I hate it when I make a sarcastic post and someone that doesn't understand sarcasm has to comment and ruin it.

I’m not angry with any of them. 8 years ago I decided to eat only real foods, no meals, sides or snacks prepared in a factory. While you can’t completely avoid factory food (I don’t milk my own cows, make my own ice cream, peanut butter or ketchup.)I don't want to do a thread hijack (mods feel free to delete) but there are only 10 corporations in the world that control everything you eat and its all laced with sugar and HFCS with the fiber removed so it can sit on a shelf for years. I think you have every right to be angry at these companies
It was pretty easy, cooking isn’t that hard.

Let’s just number streets. When I was a kid, Markham had numbers for all highways, avenues and concessions - easy and should only offend the superstitious.
Say goodbye to Roncesvale Village, Blood west village, Kensington Market, Yonge Dundas Square etc etc etc.
