Trump’s Lake Ontario Rename Fiasco | Vancouver News

Trump’s attempt to rename Lake Ontario to “Lake America” sparked a national uproar — and a hilarious backlash. After Ontario Premier Doug Ford told him to “kiss my ass” over auto tariffs, Trump allegedly tried to flex his power by renaming the lake. Ford responded with a viral video and a new sign in Winona declaring “it’s Lake Ontario, now and forever.” The feud spilled into politics, with New York Governor Kathy Hochul mocking the move by redefining the Great Lakes acronym as SHAME. Even MapQuest joined the fun, refusing to update maps and suggesting absurd alternatives like “Lake Double-Double.” This petty spat underscores deeper trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada — where diplomacy sometimes feels more like a social media war.
