Apple Maps Renames Lake Ontario | Vancouver News

Apple Maps just dropped a jaw-dropper: Lake Ontario is now “Lake America” for U.S. users—same day Apple’s new CEO took the reins. It’s Google’s move too, with a cheeky geopolitical twist: Americans see “Lake America,” Canadians get “Lake Ontario.” The renaming traces back to a Trump-era executive order and a name Indigenous peoples gave meaning “the lake is beautiful.” But polls show most Americans hate it—even Republicans aren’t fully on board. Canada quickly reverted to “Lake Ontario,” calling it resolved. MapQuest rolled out a sarcastic “Lake Are We Doing This Again?” meme and saw a surge in downloads. The map wars are heating up—and people are voting with their apps. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
