US President Donald Trump's latest actions — imposing new tariffs on goods from Canada and signing an executive order renaming Lake Ontario as "Lake America," — have triggered a renewed surge of anger and patriotism in Canada, better known for being easygoing.

Some Canadians have boycotted U.S. products and stopped traveling 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.

Diane Hosker has lived in Ottawa's leafy west end for more than 20 years, in a neighborhood with New York City-themed street names including Central Park, Bloomingdale Street – and Trump Avenue, where Hosker lives.

She was never a fan of the name, which was chosen when Trump was known primarily as a Manhattan real estate developer. Now the city council is moving to rename it.
