Canadian Industry Minister Melanie Joly said on Tuesday (August 25) that Canada would 'always call it Lake Ontario,' responding to U.S. President Donald Trump's suggestion that it be renamed 'Lake America.' Trump said he was considering the change as trade tensions between the two countries escalated. Speaking as ministers announced measures to support workers and businesses hit by U.S. tariffs, Joly said Canada would stand up for its Great Lakes and 'be smart and strategic and fight back.'
