Another demo yesterday expressed opposition to the Park Avenue name change, saying that although they had no objection to Bourassa being honoured, changing Park is not the way to do it. However, numbers show that Robert Bourassa is not much admired ten years after his death.

I've seen two great suggestions: create a park with a model hydroelectric dam in it, or rename Henri Bourassa to Henri & Robert Bourassa.

(Actually, why not just Bourassa? We have Papineau and de Maisonneuve streets, which are thankfully not named Louis-Joseph-Papineau and Paul-Chomedey-Sieur-de-Maisonneuve. So, why do streets get the whole moniker now? Change in toponymic fashion?)
