Just that we shouldn't erase all history. Canadians need to know what happened back then. Sure remove the name from things, just don't erase it out of all history books. Maybe naming things after people is a bad idea to begin with.
If you've ever been to China, no streets are named after people. They're named like Construction, Harmony, Friendly, Help. or other cities, like we have Edmonton Trail.
