Musician wrote a ‘love letter’ to Canada with a new album – and some pointed commentary about the US president
Lake Ontario, the vast body of water that straddles the US-Canada border, has gone by many names over the centuries: Lac Saint-Louis, Lacus Ontarius, Skaniadorio, Cataraqui Lake. But one thing it will never be called, says Canadian rock star Bryan Adams , is Lake America.
In his new song Lake Ontario, Adams takes aim at the US president, Donald Trump , accusing him of “breaking the peace” between the people who live on the lake’s shores.
The ‘lake of shining waters ’ is what the Iroquois called her
It’s a First Nations name – not an executive order.
But things weren’t going his way in Iran
So like a baby tossing the toys from the pram
You can push us to the brink
But where the open road divides
