Ontario Premiere Mocks Trump’s Lake Ontario Renaming

“Ontario Premier Doug Ford ridiculed President Donald Trump’s order changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America, while expressing optimism that Canada and the U.S. would eventually overcome their differences on trade and tariffs,” Bloomberg reports.

Said Ford: “It was like something out of Saturday Night Live, when he signed a document saying ‘Change to Lake America.’ No one’s going to call it Lake of America. It’s been Lake Ontario for hundreds of years. It’s going to continue to be Lake Ontario.”
