Canadian City Council Considers Changing Street Named After Trump to Taco Avenue
Councillors backed the first step after residents split 21-21 in a 2021 vote, and any change needs support from more than half the street.
- Ottawa City Council voted unanimously on Wednesday to initiate renaming Trump Avenue, a residential street in Central Park that has carried the name for about 25 years.
- Escalating Canada-US trade tensions and Trump's repeated criticism of Canada prompted the action. A 2021 renaming attempt failed when residents split evenly, with 21 supporting change and 21 opposing it.
- Councilor Tim Tierney told CNN that suggested replacements include Pelosi Avenue, Obama Avenue, and "Taco Avenue," which refers to the acronym "Trump Always Chickens Out," coined in 2025.
- On Thursday, Trump signed an executive order directing the U.S. government to refer to Lake Ontario as "Lake America," though the order cannot compel Canada to adopt the name.
- Renaming the street is not guaranteed, as the process requires support from more than half of residents and public consultation. Officials expect no further progress until after Ottawa's municipal election in October.
