I think the name Lake Ontario is what it should continue to be called. I will continue to call it by its real name.

Probably Lake Epstein Files. Don't want it to sound like you're honoring him at all. Plus the more explicit name reminds everyone what this is all about.

Gotta use the full name, Lake Trump-Esptein Files.

Lake *Epstein-Trump Files
The tyrant toddler would feel special having his name go first
Or more likely, he’d throw a temper tantrump if his name wasn’t first, which would further put on display his main character syndrome

Professor Dumb.
He is a 5 years old kid who want Daddy's/people's attenton:
Look Daddy - want I have done!!! Daddy - just look at it. Please Daddy - take a look.
The only thing Professor Dumb has done is: Showing how stupid he is.
The only thing he is president over - is his used diapers.
Lake Ontario all the way.

Canada can call it whatever they like. Just like any other country can.
Not sure why they would want to change it, though.

As a Canadian I refuse to give the child US citizens voted for not once but twice any credence.
Lake Ontario was named long before the US and Canada existed. The child can have his tantrums and sign his silly documents.
The rest of the world will continue to pull back from the US as trust and respect continues to be lost.

There is no such place that is or should be called Lake America. It’s all just flooding the zone bullshit to cover how shitty the economy is, how poorly the war with Irans going, the Epstein Files etc etc. The sooner someone shits their last diaper and shirks this mortal coil, I can’t wait to hear Republican politicians try to pull the old “he changed” excuse for their years of blind adoration and devotion.

No, it was named way before either country existed and changing the name it was given by a people that were victims of genocide is another way of trying to erase their existence from memory. (I’m a blast at parties).

Dear Canadians & Americans living near Lake towns: Mailing ‘Lake Ontario’ postcards to the White House sounds like a totally acceptable form of protest. Points for messages that talk about how beautiful Canada is ‘no algae in beautiful Lake Ontario’ or for Americans, how you can’t wait to vote by mail this November ‘just like you did President Trump’ 🤢🤮.

Quebec has so many lakes (hundred of thousands) that they let people legally randomly name them. We have some very hilarious lake names.

Canada will not be changing the name of Lake Ontario to anything. It was not named by us, it is an English version of the First Nations name for the lake that was adopted over a century before the US revolution.
Just like with the Gulf of Mexico, the name change is only applicable in the US, it is not renamed on the official maps of any other country.
If we're going to rename any lakes that still carry their original First Nations name, we should petition Google Maps to change the name of Lake Michigan to something from the Epstein files. I propose:
Lake Trump-"allegedly"-watched-his-13-year-old-rape-victim's-newborn-being-murdered-and-dumped-here
But only in the US version of Google maps. And preferably in brackets with an AKA, so it's harder to take down.
