What happened, for context

Ottawa city council voted unanimously on September 23, 2026, to rename Trump Avenue, a residential street in the city's Central Park neighbourhood that was named after the Manhattan developer more than 20 years ago when the street was created as part of a New York-themed development. The decision came amid escalating Canada-U.S. trade tensions and followed a staff recommendation for the change.
