Google Maps Renames Lake Ontario 'Lake America' Amidst Trump Era Controversy

Google Maps has sparked outrage among Canadians and critics of President Donald Trump after it began displaying Lake Ontario as 'Lake America' for users in the United States.

The change, which followed Trump's executive order to rebrand the lake, was implemented by Google on Saturday. According to the company, this update is based on a formal name change made by the U.S. Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) in the United States.

Critics accuse Google of 'bending to pressure' from the Trump administration, while some Canadian commenters have expressed their disapproval and frustration with the decision, calling it an example of the company's 'cowardice.'
