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

Toronto City Council is beginning to wake up to the folly of renaming Dundas Street.

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" https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/12/28/bbc-guilty-rewriting-british-history-promote-woke-agenda-biased/?utm_content=telegraph&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1672263487-1

If the purists had recognized the need to negotiate with the power brokers of the day, as Dundas did, the slave trade would have been abolished 7 years earlier.
