Because it's changing a nominal identity that is important to a lot of people to some boring corporate name. What if TD bought Winterlude and decided to name it TD Winterlude? It's rebranding something that shouldn't be rebranded. Winterlude is the name of a festival celebrated in Ottawa, and Lansdowne was given to a part of the city that has ties to our history.
If you want to put your money and support it, go right ahead, but changing names isn't necessary.
