An Ottawa city councillor has reignited calls to rename Trump Avenue in the Central Park neighbourhood, citing escalating trade tensions between Canada and the U.S. under Donald Trump's administration. Riley Brockington, who previously attempted to rename the street in 2021 but faced divided community opinions, argues that honouring Trump in this manner is an embarrassment given his repeated threats against Canada's sovereignty and economy. The councillor emphasized that the damage caused by Trump's policies, including trade wars, has reached a point where further debate is unnecessary. While Mayor Mark Sutcliffe acknowledged the sentiment, he cautioned that renaming the avenue would require consultation with residents due to logistical challenges like updating addresses and driver’s licenses. The debate reflects broader tensions between local governance and national political dynamics, as Ottawa navigates its relationship with the U.S. amid ongoing economic pressures. Critics argue that retaining Trump Avenue names undermines Canada's diplomatic stance, while supporters highlight the importance of respecting community input in such decisions.

Former first lady Monica Geingos says she was honoured by president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah’s invitation to attend a street renaming ceremony in Lusaka, Zambia. Two roads in the city were recently renamed – one in honour of founding president Sam Nujoma, and another after former president Hage Geingob. Geingos described Lusaka as her late husband’s second home, saying it shaped his leadership and statesmanship skills. “As a meeting place of African intellectuals, political luminaries and freedom fighters, president Geingob connected with Africa’s best brains, some of whom followed him to Namibia, proving that ideas and solidarity transcend borders,” a statement issued on Geingos’ behalf says. “Ms Geingos was grateful to have extended her heartfelt gratitude to his excellency president Hakainde Hichilema for bestowing this meaningful posthumous honour on president Hage G Geingob. “She also thanks president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah for her leadership, and for the invitation to be part of this deeply significant occasion,” the statement reads. Geingos also met with the first lady of Zambia, Mutinta Hichilema, discussing youth development and empowerment.
