Canadians troll Trump’s ‘Lake America’ with giant ‘Lake Ontario’ sign
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported14m ago
Ontario Premier Doug Ford unveiled a large billboard on the Canadian shoreline this past Saturday featuring the message, "Lake Ontario. Now and Always." The installation serves as a direct response to a recent declaration by U.S. President Donald Trump, who referred to the body of water as "Lake America."
Canadian officials have responded to the presidential decree with public ridicule rather than formal outrage. The installation of the sign is characterized as a symbolic effort to assert Canadian sovereignty over the lake in the wake of the president's remarks.
