===Later influence=== Through his writings and teaching at the university and his association with the intellectual elite of Quebec, he had a profound influence on many people (such as [[Michel Chartrand]] and [[Camille Laurin]]). However, many of the young intellectuals he influenced often did not share his conservative ideology (such as his successor at the University of Montreal). Groulx's traditionalist, religious form of Québécois nationalism, known as [[clerico-nationalism]], influenced Quebec society into the 1950s. [[Collège Lionel-Groulx]], Lionel Groulx Avenue and the [[Lionel-Groulx (Montreal Metro)|Lionel Groulx]] metro station are named in his honour. In June 2020, in the wake of global anti-racism and anti-police brutality protests, a petition was launched by Montréalers asking the city government to rename the Lionel-Groulx métro station after the African-Canadian jazz pianist [[Oscar Peterson]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Mignacca|first=Franca|date=June 20, 2020|title=Montrealers call for Lionel-Groulx Metro station to be renamed after Oscar Peterson|work=CBC News|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/petition-to-have-lionel-groulx-station-renamed-after-1.5620991|access-date=June 20, 2020}}</ref> Peterson grew up in the Little Burgundy area of Montreal where the station is located.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Farmer |first=Bonnie |title=Oscar Lives Next Door: A Story Inspired by Oscar Peterson's Childhood |publisher=Owlkids Books Inc. |year=2016}}</ref> A counter petition also circulated, asking Montreal to retain the name, claiming that deleting Groulx's name from the station would be "a consent to amnesia and a reshaping of our past." The City kept the status quo, asserting that a moratorium on changing station names had been in place since 2006.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Schwartz |first=Susan |date=September 1, 2020 |title="Petition pushes on to rename métro station in honour of Oscar Peterson" |work=The Montreal Gazette |url=https://montrealgazette.com/news/petition-pushes-on-to-rename-metro-station-in-honour-of-oscar-peterson |access-date=20 September 2023}}</ref>
