Doug Ford unveils new Lake Ontario sign days after Trump renaming
- On Saturday, Aug. 29, 2026, Ontario Premier Doug Ford unveiled a new Lake Ontario sign at Fifty Point Conservation Area, two days after President Donald Trump signed an executive order attempting to rename the water body Lake America.
- Following the breakdown of trade talks, Trump imposed 50 per cent tariffs on about $28 billion of Canadian goods, prompting personal insults exchanged between Ford and Trump over the past week.
- The large blue sign at the Hamilton, Ont. park features the words "Now and Always" below the lake's name. Ford stated he wants to show that Canadians are resilient, adding, "we will never, ever back down from a bully."
- In response to recent tariffs, the federal government announced 15 to 50 per cent tariffs on hundreds of products to take effect on Sept. 8, deepening the economic dispute.
- Ford emphasized that the lake will remain known as Lake Ontario globally, regardless of the executive order, while Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff joined the premier at the park near Stoney Creek to reinforce the province's stance.
