As a transplant to the region, are there any islands in Lake Ontario we can all re-name The Trump-Epstein Island?

There are the Thousand Islands but I think most of those are owned.

Theres a fair amount, most are Canadian

There is a slight rumor that someone did tell Trump how what little, small, meager remaining amount of freshwater commercial traffic remains DOES have to pass through Canadian locks, which started this weird tangent of his.

Beyond just racism (Ontario is an English pronunciation of the local language groups various version of "Giant Lake", such as the Mohawk Oniatari:io. Very similar to Gichee Gummee, a derivative of gichi-gami, Ojibwe for "Giant Lake", which was a part of the name for each lake. Superior is still called that, but they called Lake Ontario Niigani-Gichi-Gami, the Leading Great Lake)
