Bryan Adams Trolls Trump with New Song 'Lake Ontario' on Canada-Themed Album

Canadian rock icon Bryan Adams is making headlines with his new song 'Lake Ontario,' which takes direct aim at US President Donald Trump. The track, part of Adams' upcoming 'love letter' to Canada, criticizes Trump for 'breaking the peace' between the US and Canada, using the Great Lake as a symbol of shared history and First Nations heritage. Adams sings that Lake Ontario will never be called 'Lake America,' referencing Trump's reported interest in renaming geographic features. The song also touches on Trump's Iran policy, comparing him to a baby tossing toys from a pram. Adams, known for hits like 'Summer of '69,' is using his platform to push back against what he sees as threats to Canadian sovereignty and identity. The album arrives as tensions between the two neighbors remain high over trade and rhetoric, making Adams' musical commentary timely for fans on both sides of the border.
