The Premier of Ontario challenges Donald Trump and unveils the sign: "Lake Ontario, now and forever".

The article discusses the ongoing dispute between Canada and the United States over the name of Lake Ontario. Premier Doug Ford of Ontario has placed a large sign reading 'Lake Ontario. Now and always' along the lake's shores, responding to President Donald Trump's recent executive order to rename the lake as 'Lake America.' Trump has shared an AI-generated video where he kicks the sign and replaces the text with 'Lake America,' using the song 'Y.M.C.A.' as background music. Google Maps has updated its app to reflect 'Lake America' in the U.S., but users in Canada still see 'Lake Ontario.' Google explained that it followed the official naming guidelines provided by the U.S. Geographic Names Information System.
