Because they have nothing better to do, Mike Citrome’s band of history-rewriters are to descend on the Sud-Ouest borough council meeting tonight to demand they change the name of Lionel-Groulx metro to Oscar Peterson, a campaign that has already gained national attention because it’s being organized on (gasp) Facebook.
Date: Tuesday, March 4
Time: 6:30pm
Location: Sud-Ouest borough hall
815 rue Bel-Air, about three blocks west of the station
And if you can’t come up with an opinion on your own, feel free to check out what other random uninformed people think.
No word yet on whether there will be a counter-protest from the anti-name-change group.
Previously: Oscar Peterson metro won’t be easy to accomplish
Oscar Petersen was born and grew up near the Place St Henri metro station, not Lionel Groulx. Maybe I’ll start a Facebook group to have them rename Place St Henri metro station after Petersen.
