Google Renames Lake Ontario Amid Backlash Against Trump Executive Order
Google has begun referring to Lake Ontario as 'Lake America' for U.S. users following President Trump's executive order renaming the Great Lake. The move comes amid a growing backlash against the name change, with Canadian officials and politicians from both sides of the border rejecting the new name.
The decision by Google follows similar moves by other tech companies to adopt the new name. However, it is worth noting that Apple has not yet confirmed whether it will make the switch.
Canadian Premier Doug Ford unveiled a large sign declaring 'Lake Ontario. Now and Forever' over the weekend, while German officials have stated that from their perspective, the lake remains Lake Ontario.
