Ontario Premier Doug Ford has unveiled a new Lake Ontario sign Saturday afternoon, just days after Donald Trump renamed the Great Lake as “Lake America.”
Ford’s appearance in Winona, Ont., came as Canada-U.S. trade tensions continue to escalate, with the premier using the name change to reinforce his message that Ontario will “never back down” and always defend its interests.
“President Trump can call it whatever, but I can tell you the rest of the world will always call it Lake Ontario,” Ford said.
You do have to give Trump credit for one thing: He’s made it so easy for a number of politicians all around to score easy wins. Making tough decisions? Eh, much easier to point out that Trump is an idiot and score political points.
Yep and that’s not a good thing. Makes idiots such as Doug look good and people are more likely to overlook his past actions because we have a new idiot in town.
Precisely.
Same as how the Republican shift to racism gives cover for corporate Democrats to push rightward
We gotchu, border friends
Proud of my city for this. Hope others follow suit. Formal rejections en masse will speak volumes.
Thank you, brothers and sisters in Rochester!
Rochester rocks.
Wow, this is much appreciated from this Canadian.
As a person from Ontario, this is dumb. Like, not as dumb as renaming it, obviously, but just ignore the turd. I don’t need a sign affirming the name of the lake. I hope it wasn’t expensive, but knowing Ford I’m sure it was made by one of his buddy’s companies at 10x the price, charged to the taxpayer.
