Canadian PM rejects Trump's lake renaming, defends Indigenous name
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney pushed back on President Trump's executive order renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America, noting the name's Wendat origin meaning 'beautiful, big lake.' He said the name has been used for over 400 years and will remain Lake Ontario in Canada. Ontario Premier Doug Ford echoed that stance, while Trump's order only applies within the U.S.
