:Canada Permanent Trust Building → {{no redirect|Canada Permanent Building}} – Name on facade is "Canada Permanent Building." Also, the building was home to two companies: the Canada Permanent Mortgage Corporation and its subsidiary the Canada Permanent Trust Company, both of which went under the "Canada Permanent" name. The use of the "Canada Permanent Building" name reflected this. See Canada Permanent. Tsc9i8 (talk) 20:41, 6 January 2025 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink).

:*weak oppose sources{{emdash}} particularly ones talking about it's historic status{{emdash}}tend to use 'Canada Permanent Trust Building' and tend to refer to the one in Edmonton as the 'Canada Permanent Building' ... not that that one has a page so we don't need to dab—blindlynx 16:03, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

:*:I would say that given the name "Canada Permanent Building" is carved in stone on its facade, that's sufficient proof of the correct name, and that "Canada Permanent Trust Building" is a misnomer. Tsc9i8 (talk) 00:36, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
