Love how this is how my tax dollars are being used.

Not working towards solutions for actual problems, but instead how to re-label a street name.

Remember when the city of Berlin, in an effort to disassociate itself from the horrors seen in Germany, changed its name to Kitchener – after Lord Kitchener, inventor of concentration camps...?

Looking forward to seeing what bad things the new name is associated with.

"Normally we give friends of the council a lot more! This is a good deal." – Toronto city council, probably.

Spend that 8.6m on homeless shelters instead. Or fixing pot holes.
