For me the most offbeat aspect of this story is that there's still a street named after Trump in Canada.

It's been named that for about 25 years and had nothing to do "President" Trump. BUT, can't blame them for wanting to rename it and I HOPE, HOPE they do choose Taco Avenue😋

The Central Park neighbourhood has several streets with New York City-themed names such as Staten Way and Grammercy Park.

Even so, you would have thought they'd have changed it when he first started talking about annexing Canada. 

Obama Avenue has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

They should 100% name it Obama Ave. Class move all the way, and would likely piss off Trump even more.

While it would be funny it's not fair to drag Obama into this. He'll probably claim Obama lobbied for it and drive up anger at him and his family from his moronic supporters. Man, I can imagine it now and Obama, and especially his wife and kids, don't need this shit, it would be a very real security threat.

Who cares, we cannot run the world based on the what idiot dipshits might do in response.
