  "summary": "Premier Doug Ford unveiled a Lake Ontario sign at a park on the shores of the Great Lake on Saturday, two days after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to change its name to Lake America. The sign, featuring the words \"Now and Always\" below the lake’s name, was placed at Fifty Point Conservation Area in Hamilton, Ont. Ford stated that he wants to send a message to Trump that Canadians are resilient and strong and \"we will never, ever back down from a bully.\" The federal government has responded to the U.S. tariffs with retaliatory measures, which are set to take effect on Sept. 8.",
