Renaming the Langevin Bridge is among the ideas Mayor Naheed Nenshi is considering, in consultation with local First Nations, as Calgary looks to act on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) report.
“There has been quite a bit of talk in the public – many, many citizens have approached us with the idea of making a more deeply symbolic gesture of reconciliation that could include something like the renaming of the Langevin Bridge,” the mayor said during Monday’s city council meeting. “I have been seeking different perspectives on this from First Nations people, from our advisory committee, from historians, and so on, on what that might look like.”
The bridge was named for Hector-Louis Langevin, who helped pave the way for Canada’s confederation and also was an early proponent of the residential-school system. He argued in favour of removing aboriginal children from their families, lest they “remain savages.”

So you claim he's making all this up?
In Richmond VA, the Jefferson Davis statue was recently defaced.

Are you OK with that? Or should all such monuments be removed, as though the Civil War never occurred?
Society does need to decide where to draw the line on this.

We are who we are, both the good and the bad, because of those who went before us, who did both good, and bad.

Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.
