Most want to keep Lionel-Groulx name
A survey found that slightly more Montrealers would change the name of Lionel-Groulx metro station than Quebecers in general, although there was no majority in favour of changing it. The key finding was that most of us are very vague about who Lionel Groulx was.

I think you edited the post since I commented – was the “than” between “station” and “Quebecers” always there?

As I wrote before the only thing in Quebec not named after Lionel Groulx are house hold appliances. Mountains, schools, theatres, roads, parks etc.
Why can’t the city of Montreal reflect in its toponymy people who were born, lived and created in this city.
I know Groulx was a nationalist icon but nationalist iconography is reflected everywhere in Quebec.
I find this to be a crazy blind spot in this society.
