Ontario Premier Doug Ford Unveils ‘Lake Ontario’ Sign

Ontario Premier Doug Ford on Aug. 29 unveiled a “Lake Ontario” sign by the lake at Fifty Point Conservation Area in Hamilton in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the lake “Lake America.” Meanwhile, on the same day, Trump shared apparently AI-generated videos on his Truth Social accounts focused on the lake, with one video showing him replacing a sign reading “Lake Ontario” with one reading “Lake America,” and another video showing armed “Donald Ducks” walking by the lake. As he unveiled the new sign, Ford said that the lake was named “Lake Ontario” long before Trump was in office and would continue to be named such after Trump’s departure from office, he said.
