Lawmakers Condemn Trump’s Renaming of Lake Ontario Amid U.S.-Canada Trade War
Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew likened Trump to an “over the hill” rock band. “He thought he had a real hit, a real golden oldie with the Gulf of Mexico, and he’s trying to bring back that,” he said, referencing how Trump signed a similar order last year renaming the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.”
City councillor Brad Bradford, who is currently running for mayor of Toronto, said if he’s elected, he’ll push to rename Trump’s home state the “Province of New York.”
Referring to D.C.’s actions as “ludicrous,” Bradford insisted “you can try and change the name of a lake, but you can’t change the spirit of our city, our province, or our country.”
What U.S. Democrats have said about the name change
Rep. Tim Kennedy of New York referred to the trade war as “illogical” and accused Trump of distributing “juvenile” rhetoric. “Lake Ontario will always be Lake Ontario,” he said.
Former First Lady and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton stated “it’s Lake Ontario” in response to the news.
