Ontario Premier Doug Ford answered President Donald Trump’s “Lake America” decree Saturday with a billboard-sized message on the Canadian shoreline — “Lake Ontario. Now and Always” — as Canadian leaders met the move with ridicule rather than outrage.
Wearing a Team Canada soccer jersey, Ford unveiled the sign near Grimsby, Ontario, and posed for photographs. The 24-by-12-foot (7.3-by-3.6 meter) sign stands on 6-foot (1.8-meter) legs, putting its top about 18 feet (5.5 meters) above the ground — roughly two stories high. The message is repeated in French, one
The display followed Trump’s executive order directing U.S. federal agencies to call Lake Ontario “Lake America.” After months of tariffs, threats to make Canada the 51st U.S. state and personal attacks on its leaders, the reaction in Canada has mixed defiance with mockery.
Ford is a narcissist. He only exists to line his and his cronies pockets. He is doing so many bad things it’s hard to list here. 1 example: Our child has been waiting 5 years now for basic therapy for his autism. OAP (Ontario autism program) has been cut to the bone. We were “approved” but then it is we will let you know. There are others that have been waiting over 7yrs. These kids cannot get time back and are not being taught how to live in the world. It will have repercussions for decades. He has done similar stuff with the student loan program. Ford needs to be gone yesterday.
