MITHILA Ontario Premier Doug Ford answered President Donald Trump's "Lake America" decree on Saturday by placing a billboard-sized message directly on the Canadian shoreline. The prominent shoreline installation erected in Canada displays the statement "Lake Ontario. Now and Always" as an explicit answer to the decree issued by the United States president.

The billboard on the shoreline comes as Canadian leaders collectively met President Donald Trump's move with ridicule rather than outrage. Rather than treating the "Lake America" decree with anger or expressing official outrage, leaders across Canada have instead chosen to respond to the American president's decree with mockery and ridicule.

Premier Ford's display of "Lake Ontario. Now and Always" reflects the broader sentiment of Canadian leaders following the decree. By answering President Trump's "Lake America" declaration with a large sign on the Canadian shoreline, the move exemplifies how Canadian leaders met the decree with ridicule rather than outrage.
