Default Muslim Montrealer leads charge to rename metro station that honors anti-Semite

Muslim Montrealer leads charge to rename metro station that honors anti-Semite

Online petition has over 18,600 signatures in favor of replacing Lionel Groulx, a Catholic priest who supported fascism and hated Jews, with Canadian jazz legend Oscar Peterson

Jul 1, 2020

MONTREAL — For more than half a century, a busy metro station in Montreal is named after an anti-Semitic admirer of fascism. Now, thousands of Quebecois have signed a petition to rename the station — thanks to the initiative of a Muslim Montrealer and momentum from the Black Lives Matter movement.

“Anti-Semitism has no place in our society. There should be no monuments and no landmarks named after people who believe in such despicable ideologies,” said Naveed Hussain, a nurse who started the petition while recovering at home from a case of COVID-19.
