Why do you think they aren't showering him with praise like they have done for the female athletes? He's from London, ON and seems to be quite accomplished and successful in his field. Very impressive feat!

What I object to is the pointlessness of the argument. Of all the things that need sorting in this city the name of a street that has existed for more than a century should be way down on the list. My question is why now? What is happening behind the scenes that prioritizes this? It's weird.

somewhere there is urban consulting firm with connections to cityhall ready to make millions $$$ off this woke contract, and the sign making industry is lobbying cityhall for more business

All good until Penny is arrested for a DUI fatality or De Grasse found with a dead prostitute. Who knows what skeletons these athletic celebrities will have in their closets into the 2050s. I expect many wanted to name streets after Oscar Pistorius, until he smoked his girlfriend.

No one would want to dine out on Rob Ford Way--they have more than enough to eat at home.

It’s someone‘s pet idea being snowballed by FOMO virtual signallers. People like to seen by their circle as important, as making a difference.

Even provinces someday could have new names, along with streets, cities, towns, mountains, rivers and lakes.
Should British Columbia change its name? As we reckon with history, some say it's time

To be honest, I always thought it was a very unoriginal, generic name.

I wonder if there's any kind of politically correct pressure in European countries to change a bunch of place names...

I've posted an article about how France had been "De-Pétainizing" for the last 80s years. Also, there is de-Sovietization of Eastern European countries post-Cold War (though some of it arguably is reverting to the original nomenclature).

I'm sure they're managing to get other things done.
