Canada applauds Trump's efforts to rename Lake Ontario as 'Lake America'

Tuugo30 August 2026 at 21:19

Ontario Premier Doug Ford unveiled a giant billboard on the Canadian shoreline on Saturday with the message "Lake Ontario – now and forever," in response to President Trump's efforts to rename the lake. Doug Ford is the premier of the Canadian province that is home to Lake Ontario. This action represents a direct response to Trump's attempts to change the lake's name to "Lake America." The article indicates that Canada would be applauding Trump's efforts, although the context of the billboard seems to indicate a contrary position to this change.

TSE to analyze on Tuesday AI video used by Bolsonaro campaign

The Superior Electoral Court will analyze on Tuesday a video produced with artificial intelligence by Flavio Bolsonaro's campaign, which reproduced the image and voice of former President Jair Bolsonaro during the PL convention. The action was filed by PT against the material, and the ruling is expected to reestablish guidelines on the limits of the use of deepfakes in elections. The trend is for maintaining the prohibition on content capable of inducing the voter to believe that a certain fact occurred, regardless of whether the material benefits or harms any candidate. The case also addresses issues about the proof of deepfake use.
