It's Lake Ontario, btw
from Nobody's In Charge · host Ash Splawinski
After the trade talks between Canada and the U.S. collapsed, President Trump signed an order renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America. Google Maps changed it for US users only. MapQuest refused and promptly became the #1 free app in the US App Store for it. A YouGov poll found that most Americans disagree with the change, including most Republicans. But the numbers differ depending on whether those Republicans are MAGA or not.In this episode, I talk through what a U.S. President actually has authority to do to a Great Lake, how shared resources are governed, and more with political scientist Vanita Clare.
