Yahoo entertainment

Key Points:

  • Canadian rock band Blue Rodeo defied U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to rename Lake Ontario as "Lake America" by leading their Toronto audience in singing the lake's original name during a concert at the RBC Amphitheater.
  • Lead vocalist Greg Keelor encouraged the crowd to sing with pride for "the shining waters" of Lake Ontario, while screens displayed maps retaining the lake's original name despite changes on American Google maps, highlighting Canadian resistance to the name change.
  • Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney publicly reaffirmed the lake's historic name, with Ford erecting a sign stating "Lake Ontario - Now and Always" and Carney emphasizing the name's long-standing heritage predating both Canadian Confederation and U.S. independence.
  • In response, Trump posted an AI-generated video mocking the lake's name and reiterated his hardline stance against Canada, threatening increased tariffs on Canadian vehicles and urging Canadian companies to relocate to the U.S. to avoid tariffs.
