If we are going to get on the renaming merry-go-round (and this editorial makes a good case for why we should not) let's start by renaming anything honouring Pierre Elliot Trudeau, beginning with Montreal's airport.

Aside from the fact that PET wanted to get rid of Dorval in favour of Mirabel (I guess, by now, Mirabel must be handling tens of millions of passengers annually, but will have to check) why are we honouring a man who wanted to do away with treaties and assimilate First Nations people and who when his White Paper of 1969 was shouted down remarked "We will keep them in the ghetto for as long as they want".

How offensive for First Nations peoples who have to travel through this airport when coming to Montreal
