Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson mocked President Trump’s recent executive order to change the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America during the metal band’s North American tour kickoff show in Toronto on Saturday night.
The frontman told the audience at Scotiabank Arena, “Hello Canada … we got here. We crossed the Lake of Ontario. And later this year, we’ll be crossing the Gulf of Mexico. But apart from the ridiculous state of the world, how the fuck are you lot tonight? All right?” Later on in the set, he yelled, “Scream for me, Lake Ontario!”
