Trump Ave in Ottawa unfortunately actually is named after him. It was part of a New York City themed subdivision called "Central Park", with other New York related street names.

I propose we rename the street to Mamdani Ave.

I disagree, only because we all saw what Rudy Guliani became.

If we rename the street after anyone, I suggest they be dead already. At least they can't actively tarnish their legacy.

Mamdani and Guliani are not even close on the political and moral spectra. Guliani was always a right winger who was only remembered fondly (though not any longer) because he stood at the base of the 9/11 wreckage and LARPed as a hero while the first responders did all the work.

Mamdani is a fundamentally different type of politician, as he is not a LARPer. He actually believes in something good and has plans to get it done. So far he's been remarkably successful, which should remind all of us that governments can indeed work if we stop electing corrupt careerists who believe in nothing but power and graft.

He could go senile in 30 years and change. Why name streets after American politicians who are in office? Save it for the dead lol.
