Trump Renames Lake Ontario to Lake America | Vancouver News

President Trump just renamed Lake Ontario to “Lake America” in a bold, controversial move he claims is about trade fairness — but critics on both sides are calling it a childish distraction from real issues like housing and healthcare. The renaming has sparked outrage from political figures including Clinton and Sanders, while New York officials joked the Great Lakes acronym now spells “SHAME.” Canada’s leaders defended the original name, rooted in Indigenous history, insisting it will stay “Lake Ontario.” This isn’t Trump’s first water-naming stunt — he tried renaming the Gulf of Mexico last year too.
