Ontario premier answers Trump’s ‘Lake America’ with giant ‘Lake Ontario’ sign
Americas2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported27m ago
Ontario Premier Doug Ford unveiled a billboard-sized sign on the Canadian shoreline near Grimsby bearing the message "Lake Ontario. Now and Always." Wearing a Team Canada soccer jersey, Ford responded directly to U.S. President Donald Trump's recent executive order attempting to rename Lake Ontario "Lake America."
The symbolic countermeasure occurs amid an ongoing trade war between Canada and the United States. The dispute escalated when President Trump issued the executive order last week, prompting the Ontario premier's prominent shoreline display to assert Canadian sovereignty over the body of water.
