Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson used the band's North American tour opener in Toronto to mock President Trump's executive order renaming Lake Ontario "Lake America". Speaking to the crowd at Scotiabank Arena on Saturday night, Dickinson referenced "crossing the Lake of Ontario" before joking about "crossing the Gulf of Mexico" later in the tour, poking fun at the political controversy surrounding Trump's renaming decisions.

The comments also referenced Trump's January 2025 order renaming the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America". Dickinson later shouted "Scream for me, Lake Ontario!" during the set, drawing a cheer from the Canadian audience. Video footage and photos from the tour kickoff show have been shared online, with further dates continuing across North America.
