Anything named after Winston Churchill
Alberta, in particular, has named dozens of things after the stalwart leader of Second World War-era Britain, most notably Churchill square in Edmonton. But one doesn’t need to go far to find something dark in Churchill’s long career. He was an unashamed white supremacist, he boasted about personally killing “savages” in Sudan and it was under his government that two million people died in the 1943 Bengal famine.
