Some Canadians have boycotted U.S. products and stopped travelling south of the border since Trump returned to office in early 2025, but his renewed attacks on Canada are prompting what may be a more permanent rupture between two longtime allies. From street names to supply chains to vacation bookings, Canadians are severing everyday ties in ways that could outlast the current trade dispute, Reuters reports.
“(Trump) is just the king of chaos and destroying everything and nothing good ever comes out of this man,” Hosker told Reuters. “I just don’t like the way he makes fun of Canada,” she said, adding that she finds it embarrassing to tell people she lives on a street named after Trump.
Ottawa City Councillor Riley Brockington said he’s taking steps to rename Trump Avenue. Some ideas include TACO, a reference to “Trump Always Chickens Out,” or naming the street after former U.S. President Barack Obama.
“Street names in Canada’s capital are named after people of honour and integrity and (who) work in partnership, in this case, with Canada,” Brockington said. “(Trump) does not meet any of those standards.”
