A response to President Donald Trump's "Lake America" decree has been made by Ontario Premier Doug Ford. Ford unveiled a large sign reading "Lake Ontario. Now and Always" on the Canadian shoreline.
The sign is 24 feet by 12 feet in size and stands on 6-foot legs, making it roughly two stories high. The message on the sign is also repeated in French. This move is seen as a show of defiance after Trump's executive order directing US federal agencies to refer to Lake Ontario as "Lake America".
Further details about the situation and the reaction to Trump's order are available from the source.
