[Canadian Prime Minister Stresses Lake Ontario Will Not Change its Name] August 28th: In response to U.S. President Trump signing an executive order on the afternoon of August 27, local time, to rename Lake Ontario on the U.S.-Canada border to "American Lake", Canadian Prime Minister Carney posted a message on the social media platform in response, "The name Lake Ontario has a history of more than 400 years and predates Canada. The founding of Canada predates the Declaration of Independence. We know that the United States is changing, their trade relations, their foreign policy, their national monuments, and their various water names (hydrological names), and Canadians also know that its name is Lake Ontario - it was, it is, and it always will be."
