Bryan Adams Releases New Single Lake Ontario

Bryan Adams released his new single Lake Ontario on Wednesday. The song criticizes the debate over renaming Lake Ontario as a political distraction. Adams describes the renaming idea as a 'real dog and pony show'.

Adams said the song is for people on both sides of the lake who believe the current madness will pass. Lake Ontario is a bonus track on the digital edition of Adams's album How's It Goin', which comes out Nov. 6.

Adams released 51st State on Canada Day as a response to Trump's suggestions that Canada should become part of the United States. The album also includes 51st State, The Ballad of Terry Fox, The Battle of Lundy's Lane and Diesel and Dirt. Adams described the album as a musical love letter to Canada.

Blue Rodeo invited a Toronto crowd to sing the Lake Ontario line from its 1993 song Hasn't Hit Me Yet on Aug. 29.
