Google Maps Changes Name of Lake Ontario to 'Lake America'

Google Maps has made changes to its name for Lake Ontario in response to an executive order from President Donald Trump. The US-based users will now see 'Lake America' instead of the original name, while Canadian users continue to view it as 'Lake Ontario'. This move follows updates from the US Geographic Names Information System and has sparked criticism from progressive groups and Canadians who claim Google is bowing down to the Trump administration.

The controversy comes amidst deteriorating relations between the two countries due to ongoing tariffs involving 50% levies on goods. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney rejected the name change, reiterating that Lake Ontario will remain as its original name in Canada.
