Carney guarantees Lake Ontario will keep its name in Canada in response to Trump

RTP Notícias28 August 2026 at 06:20

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney assured that Lake Ontario will keep its name "now and forever" for Canadians. The statement comes as a direct reaction to US President Donald Trump's decision to rename the lake "Lake America."

The question of the lake's redesignation has become a new point of tension between Canada and the United States, at a time when relations between the two countries are already marked by significant disagreements.

Carney expressed Canada's commitment to preserving the traditional designation of the lake, emphasizing that for Canadians the name will remain unchanged, regardless of the decision made by the American government.

Free People, the 'journalism' without "modern censorship"

Prime Minister Luís Montenegro has been one of the biggest critics of the media in Portugal, accusing it of promoting "disinformation" and exercising a "kind of modern censorship". Communication consultants heard by ECO/+M consider that Montenegro "chose the wrong angle" by attacking the media, suggesting this reflects failures in his communication strategy and crisis management. The article also analyzes Povo Livre, the official publication of the PSD, the party Montenegro leads, revealing that of the 55 issues since he took office for the second time, in June 2025, 52 feature Montenegro as the protagonist on the covers. Experts argue that doctrinal press, such as Povo Livre or Chega's Folha Nacional, should not be confused with informative journalism, calling for greater clarification of the status of these party organs.
