Gee, will the tide now shift to calling it Sir Winston Churchill Square?
(joke)
I thought this was about redesigning Nathan Phillips Square as a public square, and not renaming the square?
The attitude towards Jewish immigration in the years leading up to the Second World War is nothing to be proud of among the ally nations. Confusing Nathan Phillips Jewish identity with attitudes and policies of the Churchill government is turning history on its head - to say the least. The Second World War was not about fighting Jewish persecution. Nathan Phillips Square is the public square in front of the Toronto City Hall and thus should make reference to a prominent Torontonian. Doing so takes nothing away from Churchill. Let's not mix everything up, please.

Winston Churchill played a pivotal role in saving the western world from the spread of faschism, and in stopping the Nazis and the persecution of the jewish people. Nathan Phillips was a Mayor (and jewish, ironically). Hmmmmm, tough comparison...
