MapQuest Defies Lake Ontario Rename | Vancouver News

MapQuest is staging a bold, billboard-driven rebellion against a U.S. executive order that would rename Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” launching a vintage-themed campaign across six major cities and sparking a viral surge in app downloads. While Google and Apple Maps comply with the directive for U.S. users, MapQuest stands firm, letting users rename the lake themselves and selling merch to amplify their message. Local leaders in New York and Canada are also resisting — from Oswego’s mayor refusing to change signs to Ontario’s Premier unveiling a $25K new sign. All this comes amid rising tensions between the U.S. and Canada, as the president pushes other renaming ideas, including Lake Erie, igniting a national debate over identity, sovereignty, and digital mapping.
