How dare Trump try to fuck with the lyrics of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Wait, the Edmond Fitz sunk in Superior... How is the pedo pres fucking with the lyrics?
Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings In the rooms of her ice-water mansion. Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams, the islands and bays are for sportsmen. And farther below Lake Ontario (America) Takes in what Lake Erie can send her.
More proof Alphabet, Google, and its employees support pedophilia, are fascists, and deserve to answer for their crimes.
It shows "Lake Ontario" here in the UK, but "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" as well. Not sure why there is a difference- certainly I've never heard anyone use the phrase in brackets in conversation.
Which is the only reasonable way. A map has to be useful, it’s not their fault a government has changed things.
Their government didnt change things. They chucked a hissy fit and made unfounded demands, Google decided to appease the crybabies rather than having an ounce of integrity.
On a practical level, if a government decides to refer to it by whatever name in advisory notices and alerts, it’s useful to have the map reconcile with that name
They took away HOMES, and now we have SHAME.
Who fuckin cares? It's all colonized land named by the people that stole it.
Ontario is the original name of the lake, at least as an anglicized form of Oniatarí:io, the Iroquoian name of the lake.
So is everywhere on earth.

They just do whatever local law tells them to. I bet it shows a different name in non-Trumponia regions.
It's an "executive order", not a law. Google has no reason to make the change other than to kiss the diaper.
Its not a law. All it is, is a request for the head of the US geological survey to ask their dept use a specific name on something.
It has zero legal weight.
