Google Maps now show 'Lake America' in US, not 'Lake Ontario'
Ontario pushes back on the renaming
In Ontario, Ford on Saturday unveiled a large lakeside sign that reads, "Lake Ontario: Now and Always," in both English and French.
"President Trump can call it whatever he wants, but I can tell you, the rest of the world will always call it Lake Ontario," Ford said.
On Sunday evening, an Ontario minister, Stephen Crawford, said the province was reviewing its websites after Lake America appeared on sites like the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. The LCBO, a major global buyer, is not stocking U.S. alcohol due to the trade war.
"Some Ontario government agency websites pull map data directly from Google Maps," Crawford said on the social media site X. "Following recent changes by Google, we're actively reviewing our websites to make sure they all identify Lake Ontario by its correct name: Lake Ontario".
