Comment on Google Maps Renames Lake Ontario to Lake America

Comments

Couldn’t we, the rest of the world, continue to see Lake Ontario, as it was before? It’s a very stupid thing to do and I guess most of us, if asked, would be on team Canada..

As an American, I offer my apology to Canada for this action. It will be over in 2 more years, and we will rename it back.

And yet Google decided to have the whole planet (except Canada) see Lake America. The sucking up to Trump knows no bounds with Google and Apple (who will again follow suit as they did with Gulf of America)

"those outside of the U.S. and Canada will see both names"
