Things being named N***** this or that in this day and age is totally wrong.

Thanks for raising attention to an issue that I was not even aware of as a new Canadian.

Not only should the names be changed. They should be changed to reflect the identities and histories attached to those sites.

this name is not a tribute to a black couple, it is an insult. I don't know how anyone could defend this blatant racism.

Though these names may be important to its residents, there are doing much more harm by using such an offensive term. How can we commemorate the individuals whom these places are named after with such a horrific term...

Every person has a name that was given to him or her by their parents, community, history and God. The deceased couple should be commemorated in name and by their name.

It amazes me that these names persist on the map. Please remedy this situation, for the sake of decency, fairness, and Quebec's good name.

Many names of Montreal streets have been changed to reflect new values; the same should be possible for Quebec place names.

The proposed change is an elementary step towards understanding and changing Quebec policies on racism.

Il est difficile de comprendre pourquoi ces changements n'ont pas été faits plus tôt. Il y a plusieurs dizaines d'années que le mot '' nègre'' est considéré comme une insulte raciste.

Par respect pour tous ceux et celles qui trouvent ces termes offensants, il est impératif de changer les noms de ces lieux.
