Dominion Society of Canada - Sankofa Square？ Canadian history is being erased

00:00:00.120 Discussions on renaming Dundas Street and the square began in 2020.

00:00:04.840 The city of Toronto is celebrating the grand opening of Sankofa Square.

00:00:08.980 What is Sankofa?

00:00:10.420 What is Sankofa?

00:00:11.440 I have no idea.

00:00:12.340 It's a name that derives from Ghana.

00:00:14.820 And what does that do with Canadians?

00:00:17.800 Did you know that Canada's unique identity is built on the foundation laid by our Anglo and Franco founders?

00:00:24.180 From Sir John A. MacDonald's vision to the legacy of the United Empire Loyalists,

00:00:29.260 Our heritage is what makes us truly Canadian.

00:00:33.160 But today, our history is under attack.

00:00:36.060 Across the country, they're trying to erase our story,

00:00:38.820 renaming streets like Dundas, removing plaques,

00:00:42.140 even before this statue of Sir John A. Macdonald was in a box.

00:00:46.300 Why do these institutions remove things that honor Canadians that built this nation?

00:00:51.420 The significance of the word Sankofa from the Akan language of Ghana,

00:00:55.440 to go back and get it.

00:00:57.140 And people are going to be getting it tomorrow, aren't they?

00:01:00.020 All of it.

00:01:02.420 This isn't just about names.

00:01:04.060 It's about erasing the values, sacrifices, and achievements that define who we are.

00:01:09.620 That's why the Dominion Society of Canada is here.

00:01:12.340 To organize, advocate, and protect what makes Canada, Canada.

00:01:17.740 We believe our history and identity are worth preserving, not rewriting.

00:01:22.100 If you agree, join us and become a member at DominionSociety.ca and help us keep Canada's heritage alive for future generations.

00:01:31.860 Thank you and long live Canada.
