Canada has erected a giant sign reading "Lake Ontario — Now and Always" amid an escalating dispute with US President Donald Trump over the administrative renaming of Lake Ontario. Ontario Premier Doug Ford unveiled the billboard following Trump's efforts to rename the body of water 'Lake America'.
The verbal duel intensified on Saturday after Trump posted a video of himself kicking over a Lake Ontario sign and replacing it with a "Lake America" sign. Additionally, tech giant Google announced it is renaming the lake for U.S. users in accordance with Trump's demands.
