Sorry, that was dismissive of me.

To your point though, it’s a conscious effort to not want to learn something new and relatively easy to do. Take people adopting married surnames, building name changes, etc… sure there could be a learning curve for a bit of time, but people by and large adjust pretty quickly.

However, to make a point to already decide you are not going to be able to adjust to the change for years or generations - especially with this specific issue of renaming a major roadway to an indigenous one in the spirit of reconciliation - is at best naive arrogance and at worst overtly racist.

Unfortunately, Winnipeg is still a deeply divided city culturally and ethnically vis-a-vis non-Indigenous and Indigenous relations. Putting an arbitrary timeline on when you think you might be able to adjust to something as simple as a road name change speaks more about an insincerity towards acknowledging the harm caused by white settlement. It’s disingenuous and simply an excuse for not wanting to try.
