I'm aboriginal and I don't agree with changing the name. It's not going to change the history, so why change the name?
Educate people on the issues instead of masking everything.
No one was worried about the name 5 years ago, a month ago or even last week.

Getting really tired of this "you can't change history" argument. We're not changing the past, nimrods, we're trying to acknowledge it and make some responsible changes. Stop clinging to a name that you didn't care about until now just because you're scared of change.

I just don't understand what changing the name of a street accomplishes. It doesn't change the past or what the individual did. I would be willing to be that until this article came out, most people in winnipeg wouldn't of known who the street was even named after.

Then we should remove all mention of P.E Trudeau who was in power during residential schools being used.........

As an Indigenous person, please change it.

The only thing they should do with Bishop Grandin is finish fixing it and they can call it DONE.
