Toronto backtracks on removing businessman's name from historic house after racism controversy (msn.com)

City officials in Toronto have reversed course on a controversial decision to remove the name of a prominent early 20th century Toronto businessman from a historic home, in light of new information brought forward by his descendants.

City council voted in April to remove Robert Stapleton Caldecott's name from his former home's heritage designation on the grounds that he held restrictive — some said racist — views on immigration.

But earlier this week, council voted to restore his name after Caldecott's descendants complained that he was being unfairly condemned and produced research in his defence.

"No way was [Caldecott] interested in dividing people by their physical appearance," Lucelle Schmitz told CBC Toronto, from her home in Saskatchewan.

"He was more concerned with how we can make Canada as a whole a prosperous nation."

Toronto City Council would cut off your nose to spite their fuckface.
Yep. All the shit wrong with Toronto and all those retards can come with are ideas to change the names of streets and places.

The real humour though were the fucking retard house owners who said "Caldecott would be appalled by us living in the house he commissioned." She's Pakistani heritage and he's from Sri Lanka. Two countries that Caldecott's "restrictive views" on immigration didn't apply to.

For those who didn't read the article, Caldecott wanted to restrict immigration to Canada to British Empire countries only. Most of the British Empire was non-White countries sooo... The only people he would have attempted to block from entering the country were the likes of American merchants in order to protect and build the young nation of Canada.

I'm a little tired of all this.

Just like the Alice Munro thing.

I'm no fan but going after someone who is dead for things that happened years ago is pretty cheap/low fruit.

Everyone does things, bad or good, and that's that.

Don't try and make yourself feel better by pointing a finger at them and saying they were bad so there fore you are good?

BS.
