Montreal street-name change met with Internet groundswell

Dan sez, "The mayor of Montreal, Gerald Tremblay, announced – without
consultation – that Montreal's 'Avenue du Parc' would be renamed
'Avenue Robert Bourassa.' The street has a lot of history and hosts
some thriving communities, so feeling is rising high on the issue.
A web-consulting
company – that happens to be located on Avenue du Parc – put up an
e-petition. When I first saw the thing they were aiming to collect 1000
'signatures.' It's grown so fast over the past day that they're now
aiming for 20000. I keep getting emails from friends with a link to
the petition and it seems to be growing by the minute."
