President Donald Trump by refusing to comply with his geographical fantasy.

Canadian band Blue Rodeo performed at Toronto’s RBC Amphitheater on Saturday.

The iconic venue is located directly on the Lake Ontario waterfront.

Trump wants the lake, which spans the U.S.

Canada border, renamed “Lake America.” Blue Rodeo’s performance at the venue, which holds 16,000 people, saw the band play their 1993 fan favorite, “Hasn’t Hit Me Yet,” which features the lyrics, “Watching the snow fall on this cold December night, and out in the middle of Lake Ontario, the same snow is falling on the deep silent water.” On Saturday, before lead vocalist Greg Keelor played the tune, he told the audience, “At the end of this song, there’s a mention of a lake.

It’s a lake right behind us right there.” Fans could also watch Keelor’s comments via a YouTube livestream.

Pointing to the lake and noting that its name has “become a little controversial,” Keelor added, “I would just like you to sing tonight with full authority and ownership.

And we’ll sing this one for the shining waters that have been there long before any of us were ever here.” The crowd dutifully obliged, and could be heard shouting “Lake Ontario” and gleefully cheering at using the original name of the lake in defiance of Trump.

To hammer the point home, screens behind the band displayed a map of the area, still labeled “Lake Ontario,” despite Google changing the name on the map for users in America.

Fans in the audience had shared footage of the maps online.

After the song ended, Keelor said, “That was some good singing, folks.

You’re good Canadians.

God bless you.
