" Trump's executive order on Lake Ontario, one of the five Great Lakes of North America, applies to U.S. federal usage about the lake, ‌and does not govern what Canada, international bodies or other organizations call the lake."

Its pretty much just like a tarriff that only Americans have to pay?

I think the correct response for Carney would be to rename the USA "Mexico Jr".
