FAQ

What is the Lake America renaming about?

In August 2026 a U.S. executive order directed federal agencies to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America" amid a trade dispute with Canada, a move that's still contested.

Is Lake Ontario officially called Lake America now?

The name change only applies to U.S. federal records, and the lake is still called Lake Ontario in Canada and on most maps — which is exactly the joke behind this Lake Ontario Forever shirt.
