Google Maps is now labeling the eastern Great Lake “Lake America” for users in the United States, three days after President Trump signed an executive order telling the Interior Department to stop calling it Lake Ontario.

Sorry, not sorry.

Anyone outside of the United States will still see Lake Ontario. https://t.co/Xc1igXvIBi pic.twitter.com/1jv8a4Z7hd
Poor Canada. Hey, they did this to themselves. Ok, that's not fair, Mark Carney did this to them. But still ...
Pathetic.

If geographical names can be changed at the whim of one leader then the world will be in trouble.

Władze stanowe mogą dokument zignorować (jak Nowy Jork).
Z Board on Geographic Names jest ten problem, że rozporządzenie ignoruje procedurę zmiany - media kierują się BGN] https://t.co/E2761actA3

Then again, this did come from Fox News so it's already triggering for their delicate sensibilities.
Poor things.
