Gordon Lightfoot has been and remains one of our favourite artists. That he is a hometown boy is icing on the cake.
That said, I don’t think streets should be named after people as we all have clay feet. Lightfoot had actions in his past that he regretted, as have we all. Please, pick generic names for streets and we will not have controversy such as is happening in Toronto with Danforth Avenue. Not even John A. Macdonald has avoided this conflict.
If councils want to rename streets, pick those that already have been named after people and make them less controversial.
