10:00 – Last week, Toronto’s Ryerson University changed its name to Toronto Metropolitan University due to its namesake Egerton Ryerson’s recommendations being used as a framework for Canada’s residential schools after Ryerson’s death. His statue was topped by students last summer following the discovery of possible unmarked graves at the sites of former residential schools in Canada, including in Saskatchewan. Professor Patrice Dutil, who studies politics and public administration at the university formerly known as Ryerson, has been a defender of Canada’s historical figures including Sir John A. Macdonald, arguing that the renaming was “driven by a systematic process of shaming Canadian history by outright distortions and gross misunderstandings,” and he joins Gormley to explain why he thinks Ryerson should still be recognized at the university.
PRETAPED: Patrice Dutil, Professor of Politics & Public Administration at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson), editor of “Macdonald at 200: New Reflections and Legacies.”
