On Thursday, United States President Donald Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake America." The action occurred as Trump escalated an ongoing trade war with Canada and was described as trolling, prompting immediate pushback from Ottawa.
In response to the decree, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney noted that the name Ontario carries Indigenous roots, predating both the formation of Canada's confederation and the American Declaration of Independence.
