Change Kitchener's name back to Berlin?

Unless the city moved it, Kitchener City Hall still has(d) a portrait of Lord Kitchener, as mentioned in my above post. What is odd, we already had known what Kitchener had done, yet the portrait was still there. Sometimes it takes a few nudged to get movement to get rid of legacy items that have no right existing in this world. But I haven't been to city hall for at least 18 months, due to lock-down. So they may have removed it.
