I love Mark Carney’s response:
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means ‘the lake is beautiful, the lake is big’.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario — then, now and always.
Trump indulges in fantasy.
Canadians, and most Americans deal in reality:
Lake Ontario- the name that the lake has been called since hundreds of years before a draft dodger named Drumpf fled Germany for America.
