Hazel LRT?

That, or they've sold the naming rights...

 

[innsertnamehere]

Hazel McCallion LRT would not be a surprise whatsoever, especially since it's her 101st birthday today and is in attendance to the announcement..

That, or they've sold the naming rights...

No that doesn't make sense. Hazel is in attendance - we're getting the McCallion LRT. I'm sure Brampton will be thrilled.

I thought we stopped naming things after racist public figures.

Brampton can name their ~13% of the line something else.

William G Davis memorial tunnel. Anyways, don't we have enough stuff named after Hazel already? It's getting rather hagiographic - and I am not sure why we are naming transit lines after people these days - when we never had?

Honestly, if you want to name something after her, name the 403 transitway - it's her baby.

It would actually be really funny if they got Hazel to do the automated train announcements.

Context?

Oh, did I mention nepotistic and crooked? I meant to add that too.

Oh that part I know, I was just asking for context on the Racist claim.

Not to stray this conversation further - if you want a historical background:

[ShonTron]

This too.

You’d think that Mississauga would have other people to name stuff for.

(Hazel) McCallion LRT up to the border with Brampton, where it becomes the (Bill) Davis LRT?

 

[AlvinofDiaspar]

I am just not a fan of naming transit lines after politicians, period.
