What the reel says
Narration as scripted and voiced.
Canada answered an executive order with a two -story sign.
On Google Maps, Americans now see Lake America. Canadians still see Lake Ontario. Reuters and Ipsos find Americans side with Canada anyway, 63 % against the renaming, and 57 % oppose the new Canada tariffs.
The order stands, so does the sign.
