Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow is pushing back against U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest jab at Canada, telling CBS News that Trump should “take a page from Dolly Parton” instead of “bullying” his northern neighbour as the trade war between the two countries intensifies.Chow appeared on CBS News Wednesday, responding to Trump’s threat to rename Lake Ontario as “Lake America” — a remark made as Canada and the U.S. continue to clash over failed trade negotiations and sweeping new American tariffs on Canadian goods.“She’s loving, she’s generous, she’s joyous,” Chow said of Parton. “That’s the way to treat your best neighbour and your friends. Not just bullying.”Trump’s renaming threat came just days after the U.S. imposed new tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum, autos, and agricultural products — measures that prompted Canada to announce dollar‑for‑dollar retaliation.Trump has also mocked Ontario Premier Doug Ford by calling him “flunky” and “the less impressive Ford brother,” while Ford has fired back, calling Trump a “bully” and a “loser.”“That’s not who we are,” Chow told CBS News correspondent Errol Barnett. “That’s why we have to retaliate in order to defend and protect ourselves with the $28 billion counter tariffs.”The CBS segment aired one day after Chow posted her own video message on X, calling for cooperation and respect as tensions escalate. In that clip, she urged Trump to “choose kindness” and emphasized Toronto’s long‑standing economic and cultural ties with American cities.
