Trumps’s order affects the U.S. Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), which sets the standards for official U.S. maps.
Google Maps has changed the name of “Lake Ontario” to “Lake America” for U.S. users to reflect President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the lake, according to a Google statement.
Trump announced on Thursday that he was changing the name of the smallest of the five Great Lakes, part of an escalating trade feud with Canada that has prompted the two countries to impose reciprocal tariffs on billions of dollars in goods.
The president’s order affects the U.S. Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), which sets the standards for official U.S. maps. It does not have any impact on Canadian naming conventions or how the rest of the world refers to the lake.
It’s been showing Lake America for me and my partner. We live in Canada.
do you and your partner adopt rescues? I’m house trained.
I’ve heard it’s better to adopt pairs so they’re not lonely. I just so happen to be excellent at fetching slippers myself.
G**gle has you pegged as the 51st state already…
