The lake was never renamed, at least on the Canadian side.

    It's not renamed here either. An executive order doesn't function that way. It's merely a directive for government officials.

    You say that, but on both google and apple maps for example the Gulf of Mexico is now labeled as the Gulf of America. So there are public companies caving to the stupidity of this kind of dumbass bullshit. Those are probably the two most used map products in the entire world, so this stuff is not isolated to the US government

    They have yet to cave and change the name of Lake Ontario, but give it a month or two and Im sure they will do it
