President Donald Trump has launched a culture war against Canada. And now, a popular Canadian band is striking back.

According to The Daily Beast, the Canadian band Blue Rodeo performed at Toronto’s RBC Amphitheater this week, on Lake Ontario, which Trump has ordered renamed “Lake America” as part of his ongoing tariff war with Canada.

The group played their 1993 song “Hasn’t Hit Me Yet,” which includes the line “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.”

Naturally, the band’s singer, Greg Keelor, referenced this before the song.

“At the end of this song, there’s a mention of a lake. It’s a lake right behind us right there,” Keelor said. “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 did just that when the line came around in the song, and cheered loudly afterward.

“That was some good singing, folks. You’re good Canadians. God bless you. We love you for it,” Keeler said after the song.

The band also posted fan-shot videos of that moment to their Instagram account.
