Ontario premier answers Trump’s ‘Lake America’ with giant ‘Lake Ontario’ sign

Ontario premier answers Trump’s ‘Lake America’ with giant ‘Lake Ontario’ sign  Ontario Premier Doug Ford on Saturday unveiled a large Lake Ontario sign, after US President Donald Trump renamed the lake as "Lake America." Ford told reporters the lake's name, which is more than 400 years old, would remain unchanged. One of the five Great Lakes of North America, Lake Ontario borders both the Canadian province of Ontario and the US state of New York.  On Thursday Trump signed an executive order on Thursday to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America escalating a feud with Canada that has already spawned tariffs on tens of billions of dollars in cross-border trade. The executive order applies to U.S. federal usage about the lake, and does not govern what Canada, international bodies or other organizations call the lake.
