Lake Ontario Rename Costs and Controversy | Vancouver News

A bizarre push to rename Lake Ontario to “Lake America” has sparked debate, with experts pointing to a CBO estimate that changing the Gulf of Mexico’s name cost half a million dollars — suggesting a similar change for Lake Ontario could cost another half million. Together, these proposed renamings could total a million bucks in federal updates. Other wild ideas include adding “Department of War” to the Pentagon’s title, which could cost tens to hundreds of millions, and renaming New Mexico to “New America,” drawing backlash from politicians and polls showing most Americans strongly oppose such changes.
