Bryan Adams Takes a Dig at Trump over Lake Ontario

The single targets a renaming push and folds in references to Iran and the Epstein files as Adams defends the lake’s name.

  • On Wednesday, Canadian rocker Bryan Adams released "Lake Ontario," a protest single targeting President Donald Trump's executive order to rename the water body "Lake America."
  • Trump signed an executive order in August directing federal agencies to use "Lake America," prompting Prime Minister Mark Carney to note the name predates the United States by more than 400 years.
  • Adams describes the renaming as a "real dog and pony show," while lyrics reference Iran and the Epstein files as "another distraction" from the lake's Indigenous heritage and geological history.
  • Blue Rodeo's hit "Hasn't Hit Me Yet" went viral in August when thousands of Toronto fans sang the Lake Ontario lyric; co-frontman Greg Keelor called it a "rallying call" for Canadian solidarity.
  • "Lake Ontario" appears as a digital bonus track on Adams' album *How's It Goin'*, arriving November 6, as the rocker begins a residency at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas tonight.
