Bryan Adams releases song criticizing Trump's Lake Ontario name change

Canadian singer-songwriter Bryan Adams has released a new song titled ‘Lake Ontario’ as a protest against U.S. President Donald Trump. The track, a digital bonus for Adams' upcoming album ‘How’s It Goin’’, criticizes an August executive order that renamed Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’ in U.S. government records and maps.

In the lyrics, Adams references the Iroquois name for the lake and suggests the name change was a distraction from growing attention regarding the Epstein files. The song also draws parallels between the executive order and political developments in Iran, comparing the action to a child throwing toys in frustration.

The name change followed a breakdown in trade negotiations between the United States and Canada. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney previously condemned the move, stating that the lake remains Lake Ontario regardless of the order.
