Lake Ontario is now ‘Lake America’ on Google Maps, but not for everyone
US citizen will see the "new" name, while Canadians still see "Lake Ontario."
Google Maps has begun displaying Lake Ontario as "Lake America" following President Donald Trump's recent executive orders. The name change is only visible to users in the United States, while Canadians will continue to see the lake's traditional name. Last week, Trump signed the executive orders, officially renaming Lake Ontario for the second time in his administration.
