‘Canada is not for sale’: New cap takes aim at Trump’s ‘Lake America’ order

Ottawa, September 4 — Liam Mooney, a 40-year-old entrepreneur, has designed a baseball cap that counters President Donald Trump's controversial renaming of Lake Ontario as "Lake America." Mooney's cap features the name "Lake Ontario" with a small maple leaf on the front and the message "Canada is not for sale" on the back. Sales of the cap have surged since its launch, with several thousand orders coming from around the world.

Mooney views the renaming as absurd and extremely dangerous, arguing that it undermines the shared responsibility for managing the lake between Canada and the US. The proceeds from the hat sales will be donated to an organization dedicated to protecting Lake Ontario. This initiative is part of a broader wave of patriotism in Canada in response to Trump's hostility.
