Why Toronto’s Biggest Square Just Got a Ridiculous New Name—and What History You’re Losing

from The LeDrew Three Minute Interview

Before your city or town gets renamed, you need to hear this. Journalist and author Jerry Amernic joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss the renaming of Young-Dundas Square to Sankofa Square—and why so many Canadians are confused, frustrated, and asking questions. Was Henry Dundas really a villain, or are we losing sight of history? Why are politicians kowtowing to special interest groups and ignoring facts? In three minutes, Jerry breaks down the history, the politics, and the surprising story behind one of Canada’s most controversial place-name changes. Hosted on Acast.
