Ottawa Considers Renaming Trump Avenue Amid US-Canada Trade Tensions

Ottawa City Council has begun considering a new name for Trump Avenue, a residential street in the city’s Central Park neighbourhood.

Suggested names include Obama Avenue, Canada Avenue, Ontario Avenue, Beaver Avenue and Taco Avenue. No replacement has been selected.

The proposed street renaming has become a local expression of the wider political tension.
