Ontario Premier Doug Ford unveiled a large Lake Ontario sign, after U.S. President Donald Trump renamed the lake as "Lake America." Ford told reporters the lake's name, which is more than 400 years old, would remain unchanged.

"President Trump can call it whatever he wants, but I can tell you the rest of the world will always call it Lake Ontario," Ford said, after unveiling the sign. "We'll never, ever back down from a bully, ever."
