Do black Canadians support the renaming of Dundas Square?
Summary
Canadian elites want to rewrite our history and erase any mention of the old history. This, in theory, is a bid to make newcomers feel more welcome and more comfortable in Canada.
But does it actually do that?
The latest example comes from Toronto where the woke mayor and city council voted unanimously to change the name of Dundas Square to Sankofa Square.
Today on the Candice Malcolm show, Candice is joined by writer and scholar Samuel Sey to discuss how immigrants and in particular black people really feel about these woke cancel culture bids.
Samuel just happens to be from the Akan tribe in Ghana – the tribe where the word “Sankofa” comes from. Samuel shares the remarkable truth about this tribe and how misguided it is to use this name.
