- During their hometown show at Toronto's RBC Amphitheatre, Blue Rodeo asked their audience of 16,000 to sing the "Lake Ontario" lyric with "full authority and ownership"; the crowd delivered as the original name appeared onscreen.
- JoJo and Iron Maiden have also spoken out against the renaming during their respective Toronto performances, joining Blue Rodeo in mounting artistic pushback against the executive order.
- As artists utilize their platforms to challenge the designation, the renaming remains a focal point of cultural tension between the nations, with Blue Rodeo continuing to stand up for what is right.
