U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America. The decision was made recently and immediately generated reactions from the Canadian side.
Canada responded with a giant billboard that reaffirmed the lake's original designation as Lake Ontario. The billboard was one of the forms of response to the decree signed by Trump.
Lake Ontario is one of the Great Lakes of North America, bordered by the Canadian province of Ontario to the north and the U.S. state of New York to the south. The name change by the U.S. government was interpreted as a provocation by Canada.
