Canadian PM Carney says Lake Ontario will continue to be called by that name

​Canadian Prime Minister ‌Mark Carney ​said on Thursday Lake ‌Ontario will continue to be called by that name after ‌U.S. President Donald Trump ‌said he was renaming it as "Lake America." "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," Carney ⁠said ​on X.

"Canadians also know that naming reality ⁠means calling it Lake Ontario – then, ⁠now ⁠and always."
