On Saturday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford installed a large sign on the shores of Lake Ontario. This gesture was made in response to a decree signed by U.S. President Donald Trump, which aims to rename the lake as "Lake America."

The sign unveiled by Ford clearly displays the name "Lake Ontario," highlighting a commitment to preserve the current designation of the lake. This initiative took place in a park located on the shores of the Great Lake.

Trump's decree has sparked reactions, and the Ontario Premier chose to make his stance known through this sign. This action aims to demonstrate Canadians' attachment to this designation.

According to Le Journal de Montréal, the sign bears the message "Today and Forever," reaffirming Ford's response to the American decision.
