In regards to Toronto and Dundas Street, they consulted with leaders of Black and Indigenous communities early on to figure out if it was worth exploring, and the overwhelming answer from those sessions was yes.
People acting like this is just white people unilaterally deciding what is worthwhile and what isn’t are purposely or accidentally erasing the contributions to these decisions of the marginalised people directly affected. Why? What is the gain of doing that? Easier to dismiss if someone thinks it’s just white people? Why?
