It's the 21st century. Let's try to behave as such, yes?

This presents an opportunity to remove an aspect of racism from the physical/social landscape. I certainly hope you'll take this opportunity to be actively anti-racist, as all such opportunities should be taken advantage of.

Dear Québec, I think it's time... In fact, I know it is. Please do this now, without ands, ifs or buts. There is no reason to hang on to a past that is indeed rooted in a past that is painful for many. Thanks for taking this up immediately.
Best regards,

This is crazy. It's 2015. Racist terms like this have no place, regardless of the ignorant history of a region.

It's appalling that these names continue to exist in current times. There is no place for racist terminology in a place name. Please change them immediately.

How is there even a question about whether or not this should occur? It's a complete no-brainer, change the names~!

They may have been a 'sign of past times'. But there is no justification in the 21st century to continue with these racist names from another era.

Parce que pourquoi utiliser un terme insultant contre les noirs en plus d'effacer leur histoire dans nos manuels scolaires québécois?

C'est pas du patrimoine, c'est du racisme. Retirez les noms racistes.
