It’s called Lake Ontario

President Trump issued an Executive Order that Lake Ontario is now called Lake America. Even as a Canadian, I know that Executive Orders are only binding only on the United States Government, so in no way is the actual name of the lake changed. People who refuse to call it anything but Lake Ontario are not going to be dragged away to jail.

That’s why I enjoyed this quote from a recent post by @jojofromjerz.bsky.social

…having the president of the United States throw a tantrum and scrawl a new fucking name across an international body of water that was called Lake Ontario before this country even existed does not make it Lake America.

It makes him an asshole with a Sharpie.

Simple, to the point, and utterly true.
