Canadian politicians are calling for the renaming of "Trump Avenue" in the nation's capital, Ottawa, as trade friction between Canada and the United States escalates, according to a report from CBC on August 26.

The street, located near the Central Park neighborhood of Ottawa, is surrounded by roads named after iconic New York City landmarks. The neighborhood was established in the 1990s when Trump was a prominent real estate developer.

In 2021, residents of "Trump Avenue" previously held a vote on changing the street's name, resulting in a 21-21 tie with 20 households abstaining. Under Ottawa's municipal policies, a majority of residents must approve any street name change.

Against the backdrop of intensifying Canada-U.S. trade disputes, Ottawa City Councillor Riley Brockington stated that it is time to rename "Trump Avenue." Brockington expressed, "I feel a sense of shame that there is a street called Trump Avenue; I feel ashamed that in our nation's capital, we commemorate Trump in this way." He added, "I believe it's time to confront the destruction and tragedies caused by President Trump, including those inflicted on our country. We are past the stage of debate."

When asked about the proposal to rename "Trump Avenue," Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe noted that it could create "hassles" for residents on the street, as they would need to update their addresses with insurance companies, banks, and other institutions. However, he made his own stance clear: "If it were up to me, nothing in Ottawa would be named after Donald Trump."

Mayor Sutcliffe further stated, "If residents of 'Trump Avenue' wish to change the street name and no longer live on 'Trump Avenue' but on a street with a different name, I fully support that."
