The Canadian Institute for Historical Education takes on Toronto's decision to rename Dundas Street - based on false allegations.
“The critics partly tell the truth, but they eliminate the complexities and rely on a general ignorance of history.”

Historians have criticized the historical summary prepared by Toronto city staff. Last July, at a mtg of Exec Committee, Mayor Tory appeared to have lost confidence in the staff research, and the accusation that Henry Dundas delayed abolition. 2/2

The BBC's hatchet job on Henry Dundas was a prime example of BBC bias.

Very glad to see a new report exposing the broadcaster's blind spots:
“The report identifies a pattern of failure by the BBC that points unmistakably to conscious or unconscious bias"
