I didn’t say anything about residential schools. The subject was renaming streets, etc.
Most people who live in these cities, let alone those on First Nations, have no idea who these places were named after in the first place. These kind of symbolic gestures don’t move the needle an inch when it comes to real-world outcomes. They’re nothing more than a way for the fraction of the population who live and breathe culture wars to keep score.
