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.

Is anyone actually suggesting removing people from history? We’re talking about statues and honourary naming of things. I agree that we should stop naming things after people. Let’s name them after achievements. No one should argue against commemorating women getting to vote as a result of the famous five, it was a landmark event. Glorifying the famous five themselves is where we get into conflicting perspectives.
