Maybe it's time to revise the idea that you can have a big "ignore the constitution" button on the desk of federal and provincial governments, when the only thing that prevents its abuse is the existence of a gentlemen's agreement that apparently doesn't hold anymore. www.google.com/amp/s/www.cb...

A view of Yonge Street (looking north) in 1874, south of King St., looking at the Yonge & King intersection. Just 40 years earlier, there was a creek running through this intersection.

For a fleeting moment in 1791, York Township was named Dublin Township. This means that the Town of York might have become the Town of Dublin. And the town-folk in 1834 might have chosen to keep that name. So, Toronto might actually have become Dublin, Ontario. Imagine that.
