## Resource

A Michigan CEO’s family trip to Canada turned chaotic after a viral Facebook photo of them in “Lake America” sweatshirts sparked death threats—prompting an early return home. The image, allegedly AI-generated and posted privately, was re-shared publicly by her sister, igniting outrage amid U.S.-Canada trade tensions and the recent renaming of Lake Ontario. Smith apologized, calling it insensitive, while her credit union condemned the post. Authorities say no charges are filed yet, but the incident underscores how even jokes can ignite diplomatic firestorms.
